Billion UK Forum

Bought a 7800N at the beginning of March and its proved to be well worth the investment, nearly one meg increase in downstream speed (O2 Wholesale based line with 57 dB attenuation) and its been rock solid.

However as my current ISP doesn't support IPv6 I set up a free account on tunnelbroker.net to try and get v6 connectivity.

Now am in between Billion UK support and Hurricane Electric Support, Billion say it should support 6to4 tunneling but HE say the information they can find say it won't.

firmware version is 1.06h.

I work within a software technical support environment but IPv6 is all new to me.

Anyone got a 7800N working with this service?

If I get a chance I will try out Hurricane Electric.

I have my 7800N, 1.06h running with an SixXS IPv6 tunnel, not had any problems, did not need to make any changes to the router setup.
My Windows 7 64 bit PC is running aiccu.

Just got a chance to try it with Hurricane Electric, works OK for me. 7800N running 1.06h.
Had to change the second line in the example configuration for Windows Vista/2008/7, replacing the first IPv4 address with the IPv4 address of the PC
i.e.
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel 212.159.XXX.XXX......
changed to
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel 192.168.XXX.XXX........

Using test-ipv6.com: 10/10 for your IPv6 stability and readiness, when publishers are forced to go IPv6 only

I tested this a while back, maybe a year ago and it works fine with the 7800N.

I'm interested in IPV6 tunnelling, But using the duel stack ability of the billion 7800 router as the end point and not my PC can this be done?

Not that I am aware of

I know about setting up the Teredo tunnelling in Windows but was hoping the setup can be done on the router.

Maybe something that can be implemented in a future firmware update?
