IPv6 support is purely a function of the firmware. OpenWRT supports |
| 17 |
IPv6 and will do so even if the OEM firmware does not. |

Yes, there are LEDs on the front and wall-mount screw holes on the bottom: |

The C7 and A7 versions are slightly different, so pay attention to |
| 29 |
that. The C7 is the older, more expensive version that's supported by |
| 30 |
the released, stable version of OpenWRT. The A7 is newer and requires |
| 31 |
the latest "snapshot" version of OpenWRT. |

I can't vouch for the OEM firmware, since I immediately installed |
| 34 |
OpenWRT on mine. |
