New Linksys CPE, IPv6 ?

I checked the documentation for two models (Linux model and highest-end non-Linux model), and there's no mention of IPv6.

because for low-end CPE devices like this, a tiny change in the model
number (e.g. v1->v2) might mean a completely different internal system,
with different host CPU, different ethernet controller, etc.  You're not in
any way guaranteed the same sort of software compatibility when moving from
one device version to another, particularly for less well supported
features like ipv6.
