At the moment the price point for IPv6 CPE routers is still 2-3x the IPv4 only boxes when you can find one though not all of that difference is IPv6. The IPv6 boxes often have multiple radio and other extras. This shows that CPE vendors still see IPv6 as something *extra* and not something that should be *standard*. =20 The D-Link DIR series v6 capables are not actually more than about a 10%

Wireless G Modem Router $79.00 v4 G N-150 $79.95 v4 G DIR-615 $129.00 v4/v6 G/N DIR-815 $199.95 v4/v6 G/N
Interesting... In the US, it's more like: N-150 $35 v4/-- G DIR-615 $44 v4/v6 A/N(5) or B/G/N(2.4) DIR-815 $79 v4/v6 A/N(5) and B/G/N(2.4) The jump in price from the 615 to 815 is likely more related to the dual-radio vs. dual-band single radio. The jump between the N-150 and DIR-615 could be similarly attributed to the single-band radio vs. dual-band radio As such, it doesn't look like a huge jump in price for IPv6 to me. It looks comparable.
The IPv6 price point is still well above the IPv4 only price point.
1.00AUD = 1.06USD
Perhaps that's an accurate exchange rate, but, apparently there is a bigger difference in pricing than just the exchange point. Prices above obtained by google search a few minutes ago. Owen
