The router, which is Layer 3, is most likely the problem as that thing

and don't care about IPv4 or IPv6.
For a home network, any switch should do. Were you buying for an
Enterprise, then features such as MLD snooping may be useful to you.
In any case, Linksys WRT's come to mind, especially when you load them
up with DD-WRT (http://www.dd-wrt.com) or OpenWRT
(http://www.openwrt.org), these make them capable of doing IPv6 and even
setting up a tunnel to any of the various free (that is gratuit) IPv6
providers.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_Broker for a long list of the
latter.
Beware the very latest WRT-54G's use some new OS that isn't customisable
via the OpenWRT project. You can check via the serial numbers which will
work and which won't.
There is a special version of WRT-54G called WRT-54GL where you are
"encouraged" to use Linux on your box. You can download the source from
Linksys.
