   Yes that should be the case.

   Probably depends on the router.  I know in my case, I had to setup a router for   
   a friend who's on the same ISP as me.  The ISP supplied the router, but borked   
   the admin password (they do let users configure their routers), and I remember   
   having to explicitly turn on IPv6 after getting it working with the ISP.  IOW,   
   Joe Average doing the same operation would most likely end up running IPv4   
   only.
