More disclaimers

We have several WRT54G's successfully running the IPv6-enabled firmware, and have encountered no problems that make us wish we hadn't replaced the firmware for purposes of adding IPv6 routing capabilities.

However, we'll issue the standard disclaimer that while we have had no instances of damaging a router beyond repair, we cannot guarantee that you won't. While we believe that damaging the router in the process of replacing the stock firmware with the IPv6-enabled firmware is highly unlikely, we must advise that if you cannot live with the remote prospect of ruining the router, you should not proceed with the IPv6-enabled firmware replacement. You install the IPv6-enabled firmware at your own risk.

If something goes wrong during the firmware replacement process, for example, the electricity to the router goes out, the router will very likely be left in an unusable state. It is possible, although we do not guarantee it, to recover from this state to a state running stock Linksys firmware. Here's how.

Getting started!

That said, here are the instructions for installing the IPv6-enabled firmware.

Uninstallation

If at any time you wish to uninstall the IPv6-enabled firmware on a router currently running that firmware and return to a stock Linksys firmware image, here's how.
