Industry doesn't adopt a thing until there is a need for it. In 1998, there really wasn't a need for it. Now there is. So now it gets adopted. News at 11.

- viraptor 3y agoAlso, it's worth to keep in mind the delay on the hardware replacement. There were home routers which didn't support ipv6 even 7 years ago. And there many home routers deployed today which are over 7 years old. Also, my provider fully supports IPv6 and so does my hardware, but I have to click a button in the control panel to activate it explicitly. That's practically around a million of people who could be on IPv6 right now if they just opted in.
- Tijdreiziger 3y agoI’ve noticed that the Ubiquiti UDM Pro router has IPv6 turned off by default; and I don’t really want to change the defaults, because idk, maybe something will subtly break, and in any case it works fine as-is…
- viraptor 3y agoIt looks like it's going to be a few years until not enabling it will start subtly breaking things. ;) It's a trivial change to reverse, so if you're interested, give it a go.
- Tijdreiziger 3y agoYeah, but I’m hoping that by that time, Ubiquiti will have done the work for me in an update ;) People rely on that network every day, and I’m not on-site very often, so I’m really not keen to try any unnecessary configuration changes…
