The dual stack protocol about ipv4 and ipv6 has been finished in my lab. :) The ipv4 address is static, we config it follow the lab's request. Once the net plug be put in a PC with correct ipv4 address, the PC will get the ipv6 address automatically.
But now, I put the plug in my DIR-655 WAN interfaces, and I configuried DIR-665's ipv4 address as static(there is no ipv6 config about internet connection >:(). And open the DHCP server. The PCs in the LAN can access ipv4 as normal, but failed on ipv6 site. The ipv6 address of the LAN PC is fe80:...., and the correct address begins with 2001:... ???
(PC in LAN get address through the DHCP )
SO, what can I do now to make the ipv6 available on my LAN PCs....
Doesn't the DIR-655 support the dual stack protocol? Or I make a wrong config?
Somebody could help me?
Thanks everyone here. ;D
PS: My DIR-655 is Hardware A4 with 1.33NA Firmware

So, any body can help me, or give me some advices?

The 655 is IPv4 only on the LAN side.

So, why not support IPv4 on LAN? Because of the hardware or the firmware? I'm not good at network device.

Most of us are just users here, we have no insight on the why's and wherefore's for the design of the product. Most likely they considered that since this is a consumer/home user level of product that the internal LAN had no need to be anything but IPv4.

The number of consumer class routers (that are already more than 2 years on the market) with IPv6 LAN or full WAN support can be counted on the hand of an unfortunate lumberjack....IPv6 will only start to become interesting enough for manufacturers when ISP's will introduce IPv6 capable modems en masse. For LAN there is absolutely no need or advantage to use IPv6; the IP shortage does not affect that part 8)
Only a few models have been introduced this year or are about to be introduced.

Thank you very much! It looks that I can only use DIR-655 as a switcher when I need IPv6, haha!

When I use the 655 as a switcher, the PC have a static IP and can view the IPv6 page. But since I use it as a router, the IPv6 failed. Maybe the router function (maybe the WAN interface) support IPv4 without IPv6...
But 2 years later, maybe the router of mine will be DIR-955, ^_^
