== Firmware ==
 
The [[:Category:ZyXEL VMG3925 B10B|VMG3925 B10B]] and [[:Category:ZyXEL VMG1312 B10D|VMG1312 B10D]] are currently AAISP's default routers, both with [[IPv6]] support.
Latest Firmware is from [http://billion.uk.com/esupport/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/262/78/bipac-7800n-106d-firmware Billion] As of October 2011 the version we ship is 1.06d ▼
 
=Technicolor TG582N=
We have a copy of 1.06d here: ▼
[[media:UKBillion7800NV6_106d.zip]]
 
The [[TG582N]] was AAISP's default [[ADSL Router|ADSL router]] prior to May 2015, it was chosen due to its [[IPv6]] support. The Firmware versions that AAISP use which support [[IPv6]] include 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 an external [[FTTC Modem]] as it does not have a built-in VDSL modem. It has Wi-Fi too.

▲== Billion BiPAC 7800N ==
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.▼

=== Firmware Versions ===
 
▲Latest Firmware is from [http://billion.uk.com/esupport/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/262/78/bipac-7800n-106d-firmware Billion] As of October 2011 the version we ship is 1.06d
Version 8.4.4.1 is the factory default (as of November 2011)
Version 8.4.7.0 is IPv6 enabled
 
▲We have a copy of 1.06d here:
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===
 
▲<br> Another useful Billion page [http://www.spaldwick.com/broadband/billion-7800n on spaldwick.com]
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===
 
▲Info here: *[[Comtrend]]
Use the configuration-wizard (Firefox seems to work best) and choose ADSL(Expert).

===Adding Static-routes===
▲We've tested a TG789vn router (Aug 2011) which had beta [[IPv6]] firmware (10.1.0.3), and this works.

===Really disabling the firewall===
 
▲==Apple Airport Extreme==
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.
 
▲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.
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.
 
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. The 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/
To fix, put in CLI:
firewall config state disabled
firewall config icmpchecks disabled
firewall config udpchecks disabled
firewall config tcpchecks none
 
==ASUS RT-N66U==
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.
 
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"
===Problems connection to PPTP Servers===
 
==TP-Link TD-8817==
One customer has reported problems connecting to PPTP VPN servers in either direction through a tg582n with the 8.4.7.0 firmware.
 
From a customer:
Technicolor have stated that this may be due to the Application Layer Gateway system intercepting PPTP packets even when the firewall is disabled and is a deliberate feature, but that the feature can be disabled by entering the following commands in the CLI:
connection applist
connection unbind application PPTP port 1723
saveall
 
"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."
However the same customer has reported that this solution has not actually fixed the problem and that the PPTP entry is still visible when running the "connection applist" command even after the unbind command has been successfully run.
 
(At present it appears no other customer has reported the problem so it may be an issue specific to this one user)
