Wow

I just upgraded my router to a Cisco 877 that I got from trademe..and setup into IPv6... 

Its made a huge difference to my gaming & setups..
I (& my brother) have 
- 2  x xBox360s
- 2 x PS3s

I used to have to have port forwarding for 1 Xbox & 1 PS3.. as you can't port forward to both 360s on old ADSL IPv4 modems.
Now, IPv6 allows you to get rid of NAT, and have unique real IP addresses for each console.. and they are fully featured.. and when you do Xbox Live test conection.. you don't get Strict/Moderate issues... as your not using NAT

Also, my speed tests have improved..

Get yourself upgraded.. also IPv6 protects you for future when IP addresses run out...

What ISP are you using?

Any more sane routers support it?

Using Xnet.. but Iconz also have it..

routers for ipv6 once you look at most options are $700 plus.. I got mine for $400
Cisco 877 is a rock solid option..

It's too soon imo, too expensive and limited to a couple of providers.

I'll be sticking with an adsl modem half bridged to a router running tomato or dd-wrt for now.

NAT-PMP is pretty good in these firmwares and uPnP can enabled (with some extra security options) if needed.
