We've tested a TG789vn router (Aug 2011) which had beta IPv6 firmware (10.1.0.3), and this works. A bit more info here: [1]

Apple Airport Extreme

The Airport Extreme claims to support native IPv6 over PPPoE but we don't know of anyone who has it working. It still works via tunnels though (tunnel configuration explained on the knowledge base). You need to set the remote tunnel endpoint address to 81.187.81.6, and you need two /64 subnets off us that are statically routed to the Airport's IPv4 address. Assign an IP from one /64 as the WAN address and set the default route to our ping address "bottomless", which is 2001:8b0:0:81::51bb:51bb. Set the LAN address to the first usable IP on the second /64 and it should just work.

TG582N

Firmware Versions

Version 8.4.4.1 is the factory default (as of November 2011) Version 8.4.7.0 is IPv6 enabled

Upgrading from 8.4.4.1 is arranged by AAISP via the TR-069 CPE WAN Management protocol. This involves installing the "isp.def" as needed to persuade the router to connect to AAISP's TR-069 servers and asking AAISP to request the upgrade.

Admin Settings

When configured by A&A, the default username from the LAN side is: Administrator and from the WAN: aaisp. The password will be printed on the card on the base of the router, and also seen on the control pages.

Setting up Routed Config

Use the configuration-wizard (Firefox seems to work best) and choose ADSL(Expert). TODO: Describe where to find this.

Adding Static-routes

TODO: Fill this out, Apparently done over the telnet interface?

Really disabling the firewall

From a customer: While going mad with a tg582n tonight. I discovered they try to do stateful firewalling even when the firewall is disabled in the web interface. This breaks where you want to failover to 3G. I guess it would also break if you had 2 ADSL lines.

Completely disabling the firewall seems to be necessary to allow IPv6 connections from WAN side to network, as even when IPv4 firewall is 'off', the IPv6 still seems to be firewalled.

To fix, put in CLI:

firewall config state disabled 
firewall config icmpchecks disabled
firewall config udpchecks disabled 
firewall config tcpchecks none

Disabling the firewall also allows access to the routers' internal services from the WAN-side, although there seems to be some default logic disallowing these to function e.g. "User 'Administrator' is disallowed to login from wan to telnet" etc.
