There's more! ... ***resisting the temptation to jack the speed to 1Gb*********
Allo had their combination modem/wifi locked down tight, including all greens and no ping. I needed to have ping so my Hurricane IPv6 tunnel would work. So, they turned off the wifi part of their box and I hooked a cat7 from the Eth4 out port of the cable modem into the Eth Cable-In on the back of my Buffalo N600 wifi, and it resumed sending out 2 & 5Ghz SSID's. Ping still wouldn't come through so I called support and the tech guy said it was because I was sharing an IP address among several customers. To allow ping through the cable modem I had to have a static IP address, costing an addition $5/mo. It took the tech about 1 minute to hook it up and it took me about 1 minute to turn on the Static IP configuration section in the Buffalo.
One reboot later I had IPv6. 20/20, with IPv6 being the primary.
I also noticed that the DD-WRT firmware for this wireless router includes an IPv6 section which, when I enabled it, was pre-filled with my Hurricane data. But, I turned it off because it is an easy configure in /etc/network/interfaces.Last edited by GreyGeek; Sep 25, 2017, 08:40 PM."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

It shows the classic exponential build up in speed they use to avoid full speed from the get go. It takes about 5-10 seconds to get to advertised bandwidth and by the fifth second the page is usually loaded, which averages out to around 5-10Mbps, so the user doesn't benefit from the full bandwidth speed."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

We moved from central Michigan to Chattanooga, TN about a week and a half ago. There's fiber everywhere here - we opted for the 100 megabit package as none of our wireless devices will talk at gigabit speeds, but I'm pretty darned happy with the results
Plus, it was kinda great to tell Comcast to go pound sand :Pwe see things not as they are, but as we are.
