Introduction

There are too many devices in the world for 2³²≈4.3 x 10⁹ IP addresses to be enough. The next version of the TCP/IP protocol, IPv6 offers 128bit address space, or 2¹²⁸ ≈ 3.4 x 10³⁸ IP addresses.

IPv6 is supported from DD-WRTv22 prefinal5.

Setup

Prerequisits

-Knowledge about The DD-WRT Command Line
-Knowledge about the ip command

Instructions

The sconk.se guide offers some pretty nice instructions on how enable this feature starting out with obtaining an IPv6 address.
If you want to use Hurricane Electric's IPv6 Tunnel broker you can check out the guide below. It has detailed instructions and is upto date. Sixx.net takes alot of work and requires you to sign up to alot more stuff then Hurricane Electric.

This wiki also offers an example IPv6 startup script
