LOL - you got me there! You can’t get a decent NIC for that price … and running WPS out of the box it’s accessible within 20 minutes by anyone - sweet, I’ll recommend it to my neighbors.

So, after a bit of research, I bought Ubiquiti’s EdgeRoute Lite (https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-lite/). They are around $100 and have been running them at multiple locations for the last couple of years. Runs EdgeOS which is a fork of Vyatta which is based on Debian. I think it pulls 7w idle and has been super reliable. Ubiquiti released two new and cheaper versions. EdgeRoute X ($50) and EdgeRouter X SFP ($80) but I haven’t really checked them out. -- Karthik Poobal kart...@poobal.net Skype: poobal OpenPGP Public Key: https://poobal.net/poobal.gpg On Jan 25, 2016, at 8:45 AM, Shannon Roddy <sro...@gmail.com> wrote: Yeah. I was looking at those. But, $500 seems a bit steep for a home router. I can roll my own atom system for less.

https://www.pfsense.org/products/product-family.html#sg-2440 - pulls 7W at idle with 4 network interfaces - in an emergency you could run it off AA batteries.

All these open browser windows for configuring/testing IPv6 have been open for months and I hadn't done anything in awhile.

Your current configuration will continue to work as web sites enable IPv6. Your DNS server (possibly run by your ISP) appears to have IPv6 Internet access.

I have a debian box that is running as my router. I couldn't get v6 to work with comcast with the ISC client. I had to install the wide-dhcpv6-client package and go from there. That was for the WAN connection. Google around for the wide dhcp package and there are some howto docs out there. I had to cobble together some scripts to get it all to work. For the internal network, I chose to support auto config so that all my devices would work... so, I'm running radvd on the internal interface of my debian router. Comcast supposedly will delegate larger than a /64, but I gave up on getting that to work. Seemed like the route wasn't getting set on their end. I ran into a number of issues getting it set up... and it's a bit hazy now because it's been a while and I didn't keep good notes. But, if you need further info, I can look on my running system and let you know how I have things here.

Support told me a few weeks ago it's been deployed in our area. I've learned that I get the best tech support from them on Sunday so today I hit them up in web chat for instructions or methods they use. Anything to get me started. They want me to call their Home Networking Group. Since I'd rather pull out my fingernails than try to explain how I'm running a PfSense box with static and dynamic VPNs, a handful of creative rules, Macs, Linux (see there's a link in here somewhere to the list) and Windows, plus everything else I can think of to make life harder for them, I'm hoping someone else has done this before and is willing to share. -- Keith Stokes _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net -- Keith Stokes _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net --- Keith Stokes
