Hi-

I too would like this beta firmware.

Perhaps, since this has been in development for two months now, Netgear could make a public beta or otherwise freely accessible link to download it? I'm sorry but I fail to understand the logic behind:
a) this issue existing in the first place;
b) beta-testing IPv6 for this long;
c) not making this beta-firmware openly available via a download link on the support site.

I would have hoped Netgear would have been able to get IPv6 right by now. This isn't something that requires vast amounts of hardware testing across diverse platforms, it's a software/protocol thing. Either it works or it doesn't, and I find it hard to believe that it takes two months to determine if you got it right or not. Notwithstanding the whole 'advertised with a feature that isn't implemented yet' thing...I agree with an earlier poster, this is bordering on criminal behavior.

Please, post the link or otherwise disseminate the firmware. Lots of us are eagerly awaiting this, and already have a very bad taste in our mouths from the experience. Help save Netgear's reputation :)

Thank you!

  Hi BlaidddDrwgSJ,
  
  I have sent you a message. Please check your inbox.
  
  Also, the reason why the beta firmware is not yet made public is for us to properly track the cases and users who are currently testing it. We do apologize for the delay but engineering is finalizing the stable firmware for public release.
  
  Regards,

    I've installed the 1.1.0.34_1.0.1 beta firmware and *still* have no IPv6 support or menu option. Please see attached image.
    
    I've rebooted the router. I've rebooted the modem. I'm on Comcast, the biggest deployer of IPv6 thus far. I've had IPv6 addresses before from them, so I know IPv6 is in fact available.
    
    While we wait for engineering to figure out how to fix this, I'll be going back to my old router and shelving this.

So it's almost been a year and there is still no IPv6 support, are you telling me it has been in beta testing for almost a year now? This is absolutely ridiculous. I will never buy one of your products again and I will turn people away from them if I can.
