real firewall knobs, ipv6 in the gui etc... It think all their
"high-end" home router small business devices are getting features as
they get replaced.
I have one deployed, screenshot is here:

This box may have adequate IPv6 support. (Or it may not - several people have
raised issues with it's capabilities. Personally, I lack sufficient operational
experience with IPv6 to know one way or the other.)
But it's severely deficient in terms of IPv4/NAT/firewall capabilities. In
particular, while it has decent NATPT support, there is no indication it cannot
handle multiple WAN-side IPv4 addresses and/or 1:1 NAT. The firewall is,
according to several reviews I've seen, inadequate on the IPV6 side.
This puts it in the same category as the Apple Airport line and the Linksys
RVS4000 - probably adequate for personal home use. But in no way, shape or form
adequate for SOHO use. I was very clear I was talking about the latter, not the
former.
now would people please stop on this subject, the manufacturers know how
to build this stuff.
I'm waiting for an existence proof of the truth of this statement. So far I
haven't seen one. The closest I've seen so far is the Sonicwall TZ line, but
while it's very capable on the IPv4/NAT/firewall side of things, it's IPv6
support appears inadequate - no 6to4, no IPv6 firewall capabilities, etc.
