Following the dlink URL from another post, I had to go all the way to the manual if a DIR-868L to find any mention of IPv6, while it is sold at easily accessible places such as Webhallen and Kjell&Co!  Asking around in those places mostly has the personell shrug and go "I dunno" or "I'm not sure"...

Oh, I totally agree that most of the time information can be hard to 
find, and most people selling things are clueless. But honestly, I doubt 
you will find any router today that does not do IPv6. And I think most 
ISPs also deal with it nowadays.

It was different 10-15 years ago when I first started trying to do IPv6 
in Sweden (well, it was tricky anywhere in the world back then). But I 
have been handling a host that have been IPv6 enabled for more than 10 
years now. In Sweden. At a University, though... So not exactly dealing 
with ISPs.
