=ZyXEL VMG3925 and VMG1312=
 
The [[:Category:ZyXEL VMG3925 B10B|VMG3925 B10B]] and [[:Category:ZyXEL VMG1312 B10D|VMG1312 B10D]] are currently AAISP's default routers, both with [[IPv6]] support.
 
=Technicolor TG582N=
 
The [[TG582N]] iswas AAISPsAAISP's currentdefault [[ADSL Router|ADSL router]] prior to May 2015, it was chosen due to its [[IPv6]] support. The Firmware versions that AAISP use which supportssupport [[IPv6]] isinclude 8.4.7.0 and 10.2.0.B.
 
The [[TG582N]] is a 4 port [[ADSL Router|ADSL router]], and can be configured so that one of the [[ethernet]] ports can support PPPoE - for connecting to aan external [[FTTC Modem]] as it does not have a built-in VDSL modem. It has wifiWi-Fi too.
 
See the [[TG582N]] page for further information, and configuration notes (problems & fixes)

We have a copy of 1.06d here:

==Thomson==
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:

==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 [http://aa.net.uk/kb-broadband-ipv6-tech.html 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.
 
Note that the firmware 7.6.3 breaks tunnels configured under earlier firmware but there is a simple fix. Using the latest version of Airport Utility you need to add an [[IPv6]] Delegated Prefix. (theThe easy way seems to be to copy and paste the address from the [[IPv6]] LAN address field) and add /64 to the end - otherwise it assumes a /48. Further details here: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/02/airport-extreme-update-breaks-ipv6-tunnels-but-heres-how-to-fix-it/
 
==ASUS RT-N66U==
 
The RT-N66U does pretty much "just work" with [[IPv6]]. Running the TomatoUSB firmware it was just a case of enabling "Native [[IPv6]]" in the [[IPv6]] options and giving the router's LAN interface an address from the allocated /64. The router appears to have enabled RA by default, so everything on the LAN side "just works"
 
==TP-Link TD-8817==
 
From a customer:
 
"The current v8 firmware does support [[IPv6]] properly, but for it to be distributed to connected devices, not only DHCPv6 needs to be enabled, but also RADVD (this setting is not currently described in the modem's user manual). Leaving the sub-settings for RADVD to their default seems fine."
