I would also venture to suspect that IPv6 support will not be seen greatly at the home end user level till most other Corporate, Enterprise levels have implemented it fully or mostly there first. IPv6 isn't a requirement as of yet for home end users to connect to the Internet and not having it doesn't interfere with current connections. The IPv4 addresses that are running out are in question for the Major OEMS, Corporate, Enterprize and Internet backbones. Those have priority and should be working to take action to get IPv6 supported and going. I believe once they are fully up and running on it, then I'm sure the home end user will see more and more support for IPv6.
My 2 cents.

Yes, It would be nice to have IPv6 on a router at home, however if there isn't support fully for it, kinda seems a bit like wasting time at the moment.

Want to play with IPv6? Set up a Server with IPv6 support. Is very interesting.  

I recommend anyone interested in IPv6, I would pick up a manual or take a class on this subject. If you think IPv6 is easy. Your dead wrong. Better to get to know it now for when the day comes, you won't be left in the dark. I hope that OEMs will make it more easier to work with though.

I've a B-series and have seen no DHCPv6 configuration.  I posed the question to D-Link tech support several months ago as to whether they were planning to release a future firmware version that supported IPv6.  However, they said "no official plans" for it. 
 
Now, all should realize that the DIR-655 is intended as an inexpensive home not an enterprise product and probably not the ideal product to use for anything larger than a home business.  Perhaps a DSR-500N would be more fitting - more costly but as a business a tax write-off may be possible.  It is in same price range as a 10-user Cisco ASA-5505 but has Wireless-N as well as gigabit.  Unfortunately no documentaion of its processor, memory, and precise detail of its supported capabilities.   

Hi chris4s,

Have you updated the Firmware to 2.01NA for the Rev. B series?
