The Comtrend AR-5382u is an ADSL2+ router with 4 Ethernet ports, wifi, and usbUSB port (for 3g fallback). It also supports IPv6 (which is the reason we're here!). As of Feb 2010 they are available as [http://aa.net.uk/broadband-accessories.html pre-order]. There are still a few bug fixes which we have passed back to Comtrend and are awaiting firmware updates to resolve these issues. Stock is limited, and new orders will be put on to back-order until more arrive. - contact sales for more information if required. The first batch of routers will be shipped to customers from Feb 24th.

Losing PPP for any reason causes the Comtrend to forget IPv6 until it next re-syncs or is power cycled.
 
=How to Configure the router:=
 
The details below don't actually involve much IPv6, just a tick box. IPv6 is mostly configured automatically when the router logs into us. RA and DHCPv6 will be enabled once logged in, and it's been assigned your block of IPs.
**Password: 12345
 
==ADSL Setup For BT Lines:==
 
*Advanced -> Layer2 -> ATM -> Add
*** Description : BT
*** Tick Enable IPv6, Next
** enter username, ege.g. x@a.1
*** enter password
*** leave service name blank
*Reboot router (Management -> reboot)
 
==ADSL Setup For BE (PPPoE) Lines:==
Note: PPPoA Does not work (yet).
 
*** Description : BE
*** Tick Enable IPv6, Next
** enter username, ege.g. x@a.1
*** enter password
*** leave service name blank
*ADSL Speeds/stability - is the ADSL chipset as good/better/worse than your old router in terms of sync speed, and stability?
*WiFi - how well does the wifi throughput/coverage compare to your old router?
*Other feedback, ege.g., ease and flexibility of the Firewall etc.
