Bought another D-Link DIR router!

So it appears that my DIR-600 router doesn’t have the IPv6 support because its hardware revision is different. You know, removing or disabling IPv6 support on those previous routers are like I don’t know what to say. Then what happens before IPv4 is bound to run out, well, buy another router? Guess what, I bought the DIR-615 router that is IPv6 ready and I might have wasted my money of less than $100 on that DIR-600. Then, I managed to get things ready to set up the tunnel for IPv6. Using Tunnel Broker, you can eventually copy the info into the router IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel entry boxes such as Remote and Local addresses for both IP protocols. Also, there’s multiple types of DNS for IPv6 so I don’t know if there are multiple types of DNS for IPv4. However, there were configuration problems of IPv6 settings for my DIR-615 router to be applied for the rest of my home network for some reasons.
  1. My broadband router which is the main one doesn’t happen to have the IPv6 support at all so you don’t see those things there although the ISPs happen to have the IPv6 trial run.
  2. Only DIR-615 router is the one at home that has IPv6 support but even with this router, that’s not going to help while IPv4 will be running out.
  3. My college doesn’t even teach me IPv6 things at all and it still keeps going on in having me to learn other networking components so I might have screwed up the configuration or something.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t even apply the tunnel broker settings straight to my DIR-615 router as something couldn’t even fit well.
So, I eventually connected my DIR-615 router from the LAN port of my broadband router to the Internet port of the DIR-615 router so that I can gain access to the Internet using the broadband router while trying to extend the networking range using DIR-615 router. This may mean that DIR-615 router is connected but to get Internet access using it from the broadband router, I made the DIR-615 router obtain the DHCP addresses. Secondly, I connected the cable to the LAN 1 port of the DIR-615 router to the computer perhaps for network configuration. Lastly, the other LAN port of the DIR-615 router was for connecting another cable to the Internet port of the DIR-600. So the main wireless network range extender is now the DIR-615 instead of DIR-600 as the IPv4 is running out that I did another major networking maintenance again.
Progress
It appeared that I already finished the arrangements of Battle For The Last Vocal version as well as reupdated the In-game version. However, this arranged soundtrack isn’t YouTube appropriate so I don’t want to get found out like this.
