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. |

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. |

Billion BiPAC 7800N
Factory IP: 192.168.1.254 Factory User/Pass: admin/admin
Firmware
Latest Firmware is from Billion As of October 2011 the version we ship is 1.06d
We have a copy of 1.06d here: media:UKBillion7800NV6_106d.zip

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