I had to replace my old router, but fortunately my cable modem is fairly new (docsys 3). Everything seems to work fine. What a cool looking address.

BTW, World IPv6 Launch begins the evening of June 5, 2012 in the US.

A router is not so much a big deal. Imagine if you weren't using a router (directly connected), using an older PC that didn't support IPv6. PS: I hate Comcast. My connection starts becoming unstable between 8:30pm-11:00pm. They sent a technician to my home, with the disclaimer being that if it was my equipment that was faulty, that I'd be charged. The tech support guy said he suspect it was my modem. Fair enough. I had the tech come out, and also had a brand new modem installed (but I disguised it to make it look old). Same results. The technician blamed it on my modem after some tests. I really wish they can send a tech over at 8:30pm because that's when the connection struggles.
