IPV6 on Draytek 2820 was created by mgillespie
Does this router support IPV6? At cursory glance, it seems not, which I find hard to believe, considering the Draytek is supposed to be a "pro" router, and the usual brands all seem to provide IPV6 support.

The reason I ask, is my ISP (Plusnet) is starting IPV6 trials...

Thanks Admin - can you clarify if it IS something that is capable of being upgraded in firmware? I'd feel most aggrieved if it wasn't having bought an expensive bit of kit produced at a time when Draytek must have known that IPV6 was being brought in! Also, are there any other versions of Draytek routers which ARE currently IPV6 capable?

Surely today being IPV6 Day, Draytek should be making their roadmap clear....

Suppose the best course of action in the absence of any clear info on specific models from Draytek or Admin's postings, is for us simply not to purchase/upgrade our routers meanwhile :cry: .
Doubtless professional IT installers who are specifying hardware for their customers will already be taking that approach as they can hardly afford the backlash they would get from their customers if it was found that newly purchased hardware could not be upgraded :evil: ., it's not as if IPV6 is a new concept this year but I wonder how long it will take Draytek to realise that they have to provide a definite product routemap if they are not to loose sales :?: :roll:
