I don't know how this is in Belarus.              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.                     ...
