A lot of people will be caught out, even though it's been on the cards for a long time...

Rich I can't see the likes of many manufacturers writing new firmware for pre-2011/2 hardware. Especially models which were subject to "free ISP" distribution as it'll be brushed off as the customers responsibility to pay for a new router...
Certain manufacturers come to mind more than others too... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built machine OS W7 x64 CPU Intel Q9300 2.5Ghz Quad LGA775 (Would like Q9650) Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP45T-UD3R (F6 Bios) Memory 4Gb OCZ Gold 1,333Mhz Graphics Card Palit HD4850 O/C Sonic 512Mb DDR3, Dual DViD's Sound Card Azalia to twin Samson 50w Studio Monitors Monitor(s) Displays Twin Dell (E-IPS) U2311H 23.6" Screens Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz Keyboard Cherry PS/2 custom model Mouse Logitech M500 Laser Mouse PSU OCZ 600w Case Lian-Li PC8 acoustifoamed' aluminium tower Cooling Scythe 140mm Zipang Hard Drives Twin 1Tb Barracuda archivage, Twin TV/PVR 2Tb Samsungs, (80Gb Barracuda for the OS, but SSD envisaged...)

My router is IPv6 ready and my modem should be, but that is controlled by my ISP and they have it set for IPv4 so we shall see when this great migration takes place. Just have to reconfigure the router and Windows and hope my ISP gives me the correct settings.
