Verizon's Router

 I bought the 3100 router and started to configure it for IPv6.  It turns out that it isn't configurable as an IPv6 device, so I called them and asked why that is.  "Why is that important?" the tech says.  From Google:  Key benefits to IPv6 include:

No more NAT (Network Address Translation)

Auto-configuration.

No more private address collisions.

Better multicast routing.

Simpler header format.

Simplified, more efficient routing.

True quality of service (QoS), also called "flow labeling"

Built-in authentication and privacy support.

---- More important to me is that I buy a router I should have been given for free, since I have a gig internet package, but Verizon wants me to pay extra so I can get that service.  That makes no sense.  Then, I get the router which is an IPV6 device, but was never configured that way by the people who sold it to me.  What is going on with these people at Verizon?
