I wouldn't do it either. Probably wouldn't be the worst idea to get a wireless-N router anyways.
Well, maybe it'll help boost the world economy when lots of people have to run out & buy new routers...
Brink,
When I tried your test link, back in post 5, it said that everything was good, except that my browser (Opera) prefers IPv4 over IPv6. It mentions that might cause performance problems, so I did some Googling to find this page:
How To Specify and Browse Website Using IPv6 Address With Firefox, Opera Web Browser
All that I gleaned from it, is to use an IPv6 url in square brackets, like this one for Google:
http://[2001:4860:0:2001::68]/
However, when I tried that, it couldn't connect at all. What is wrong?
Hi there
I'm a novice in these sort of things but once you have connected to your ISP don't they do IPV6==> IpV4 or IPV4==> IPV6 translation so you can get access to the relevant website.
You supply the Web address such as www.anysite.xx
the ISP should with their DNS stuff find the correct address whether IPV4 or IPV6 and
forward you to the appropriate website.
seems simple to me with NOTHING to do at the users end -- or what have I missed here.
Maybe as an Engineer rather than an I.T guy I'm assuming this is too simple.

I hope that you are right, and it is that simple, but it is still a bit cloudy to me.
Does this mean i'm not able to or just haven't enabled?I'm guessing I don't?
p.s.i blacked out the numbers with paint
If it says only the DNS server is a problem then just changing the DNS server in your routers settings to Google's DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 will fix the problem.
It's also pretty easy to update the firmware on your WRT54G router. Most versions are supported by the DD-WRT firmware. You can check your version for compatibility by using the link below. You can also get the firmware there.
