I am in need of replacing a router with a more feature reach model. So I am going to Cisco website, looking for router with all my required features ( wifi, adsl, ipv6 ) and I have found that 857W will do it and it’s not to pricey.
Here is a features table which I found there :

I have bought one unit and when trying to configure ipv6 …. it is missing. I say OK, maybe on this IOS image.
Going back to Cisco website, using Software Advisor I can not find any IOS for 850 series which contains IPv6.
So, I have opened an issue with TAC. And guy says something “yeah, 850s don’t have IPv6”.
CISCO give me my IPv6 on router which I bought!!!!!! Or give me a new one which does it!
Cisco liars !!!
