Of course, all it needs is more manufacturers to make SOHO routers that
support IPv6 as the list is woefully small. There is, in theory, dd-wrt
(and the like) but these don't make it easy to just switch on IPv6 and
away you go (builds for some routers don't even have IPv6 built-in, which
I've found to my cost).

So I'm trying a Billion 7800N, and grabbing the latest vendor firmware
which has IPv6 support to see how that goes :-)

Finally ... it's worth keeping an eye on the RIPE CPE Survey Results
though[1][2] for the latest updates in this area.
