I want a router that supports ipV6 - D-Link Computers & Internet

You can still use IPV4 instead.

IPV6 will be rejected anyway, so you don't need to turn it off.

Call your ISP then post back

Netgear WNDR3400 does not support ipv6.

With the standard Linksys firmware, it does not. Some versions of the third party firmware from DD-WRT and Tomato support IPv6, but the configuration you would use depends on how you plan to use IPv6 (native, tunnel, etc).

The common ways to use IPv6 are in native mode or tunneled (6to4, 6rd or 6in4) mode.

The 'IPV4' (Internet Protocol Version 4) was designed for a world with 4 billion unique devices (desktops, laptops, netbooks, iPod Touch/Phone, IP-TV, cell-phones, et cetera).

That limit is being reached!

The newer 'IPV6' (Internet Protocol Version 6) was designed to give a unique IPV6 address for EVERY SQUARE INCH of surface of our planet.

So, if your computer is "talking" to an IPV6 device (router or modem), you should _NOT_ get "IPV6 not available". However, if your computer is "talking" using IPV4, you probably _WILL_ get the IPV6 not available" message.

No big deal. If your computer cannot "talk" IPV6, then it should "talk" IPV4.

I would try either of the following:
Go to the Belkin support web site to see whether there is a firmware update for your Belkin wireless router. If there is, download and install it per the instruction for your router.
If after updating the router's firmware the problem still occurs, try disabling IPv6 on your Mac. You do this from the "Network" icon in "System Preferences".
Once in the Network page, click the padlock in the lower-lefthand corner to unlock it with your password (if necessary).
Once the padlock is unlocked, click on the "Advanced..." button in the lower right-hand corner.
In the resulting window, click on the "TCP/IP" tab and find the "Configure IPv6:" drop down. Click on the drop-down and change the setting from "Automatically" to "Off".
Click the "OK" button
Click the "Apply" button
Click the padlock to lock the configuration if desired.
Now that IPv6 has been disabled, power-cycle the Belkin router and reboot all of your computers to see whether the network is usable by all of them.

Switch from IPV6 to using IPV4 (Internet Protocol Version 4).

What is the distance between your wireless-device and the router?

How many walls are between the two devices?
How much metal is there in those walls?
Is the router near a washing-machine, a hot-water tank, a stove, or a refrigerator?

In regards to IPV6 support this is a future option and is not used yet. However support has been added to the newer routers and operating systems so that when the Internet moves to IPV6 then support is already in the hardware so you do have to buy new hardware.

So if you are having network issues this would not be where your problem is.

Let me know what issues you are having and I can see what we can do to address them.

In regards to your question aboout IPV6 this is not standard that is supported yet. IPV6 is s future technology that his been added so that when this becomes a standard your current hardware will work with it.

So if you are having network trouble it should not be related to IPV6. If you can let me know some more about your problem I can see what I can do to address your issue.

Hi Poonamhe,

If your home network is a typical network with a basic consumer router and PCs you'll require a new router or firmware update, as most routers currently only support IPv4. Installation of protocols already built into Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X. Windows Vista and Mac OS X already support IPv6 natively and Windows XP only requires the addition of an IPv6 protocol driver. It's possible to run IPv4 and IPv6 on the same systems on the same network without problems.

Because TCP/IP operates lower layers of the "OSI model", the vast majority of software applications will work perfectly without modification. Only software that makes changes to or makes direct use of lower-level TCP/IP functions will need to be replaced and this is somewhat rare.
