Sometimes not so easy.  

 JD>>>> SBBS apparently is also now IPv6 compatible

I am aware of that.  However, I did say I believe it is now compatible.  Rob I
think, wrote the code for that part.  He may have tested it elsewhere though.


 MV>>> Perhaps you should consider dumping TPLink. They don't seem to be

I have, and it does

 JD>> I dont have $200 plus to buy a different router

 MV> It doesn't have to cost that much.

It does for a decent one.
