Routers and IPv6

Is there something wrong with the one you have?

Mainly that it only supports 802.11g, and I'd like to give "n" a go.

Incidentally, with regard to the Netgear DGND 3700 which has been mentioned here earlier, I emailed Netgear and had this very polite reply:

Thank you for choosing NETGEAR. My name is Chaitanya and I am your support engineer today.

Regarding your query, We would like to inform you that DGND3700 does not support IPv6 as of now. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Im no expert on tunnelling, but I believe most routers should be able to support Teredo tunnelling although some which use symmetric NAT may have issues.
I don't think a router not having IPv6 support is a huge issue anyway, unless you have a specific need for it. Its going to be a good while yet before IPv6 is common and by that time you will have more than likely replaced the router.
I'd guess IPv4 addressing will be used by ISPs for end user connectivity for at least the next 5 years.

Surely just a matter of reading what Wikipedia says about it! One of the (few?) examples where (someone at) Microsoft actually invented something...

As the article says, teredo is a last resort as it opens up all kinds of additional security concerns for teredo hosts on your network. If the IPv6 support is in your router at least you can do all the firewall stuff there and not have to rely on each client doing it.
