IPv6 is a basic function on any modern network device, wax206 should not be an exception. It will be good to have that anytime soon.

As crucial as it is for having more addresses (considering alone ipv4 only has 4 billion combinations). Ipv6 is directly advantageous for direct encrypted peer to peer communications without relying on a third party. This increases a persons ability to make connections directly on the internet to 4 billion per a single users devices, instead of the -1 just based on the world population. And mostly it provides means for ISP to not interfere with connections to alloted to devices over a gateway (even monitor the communications) for net neutrality.
Academically correct.
Practically, a Wireless Access Point is just a L2 bridge. With your Internet connection supporting IPv6, there is nothing that stops any wireless client associated with the WAX206 to use IPv6 as you describe, along concurrently with and IPv4.
Still, the majority of IPv6 traffic does not silently become encrypted in IPsec.
IPv6 support as implemented does primary cover the WAX206 IPv6 management. Or do you expect more on a wireless access point?
