hey all,

i noticed the new linksys e4200V2 has ipv6 enabled. will there be any difference using ipv6 on a docsis 3.0 modem? I currently have a 50mb connection with my local provider. do you think its worth the upgrade now?

thnx!!
 
ipv6 was created for network expandability. General home use has no need for it, and you wouldn't see any noticable speed increase.
 
I found that quite a few websites would fail to load unless I had IPv6 enabled on my XP Home SP3 rig, and it's behind a IPv4 router!
