Cisco Linksys Routers Still Don't Support IPv6 380
Julie188 writes "It's 2011, IPv4 addresses are officially exhausted, and the world's largest router maker, Cisco, still doesn't support IPv6 in its best-selling line of Linksys wireless routers. This is true even for the new E4200 router released just last month (priced at $180). The company has promised to add IPv6 to the E4200 by the spring. But it has not been specific about if and how it will offer an IPv6 upgrade to the millions of other Linksys routers currently running in homes and small businesses."

Go easy on them, Cisco is such a small company and really there was no way they could have seen this coming.

Yet another reason I'm glad I've always recommended against Linksys to friends and family. Shoddy equipment in the past, and no preparation for the future now.
No preparation for the future now, but they'll be prepared for now in the future.
Then they'll send that preparation back in time and everything will be hunky-dory.
Haven't you seen the pointless brand awareness ads that CISCO runs, showing a classroom in China and one in the US teleconferencing?
Or the giant out-side displays on opposite sides of the planet?
Clearly these ads demonstrate CISCO's mastery of all things time and space. Not only is there 0 latency, the fucking sun is high in the sky in both places at the same fucking time. I wrote a detailed email to every public email address I could find for CISCO, but I only got one drone response. The drone asked me to clarify my concerns, to which I replied "YOUR FUCKING ADVERTISEMENTS SHOW A DISTURBING DISREGARD FOR THE FUNDAMENTAL LAWS OF PHYSICS". Still waiting for a response.

It was one of the original routers from 203AD. (well 203ADish).
Because at the time there was not nearly a large enough base for IP based data transmissions they relied more heavily on humans. This router utilizes various symbols that were popular among the time to indicate direction. With a bit of a wheel you can turn the directions to various paths and thereby facilitate the routing of information or rather people.
All in all, it is more like a road sign which can be shifted this way or that.
To answer the question, I'm afraid there is no update to this model because at the time of it's conception there was no implementation of IPV6 or IPV4.
