Well, your link doesn't work. But that's no big deal. IPV6 is a nascent address system that will eventually be put in place when the current IPV4 system runs out of addresses. Since it's a known entity, manufacturers have already started preparing the hardware for the eventuality of IPV6 implementation. But for now, don't worry about any IPV6 settings in your router. Either ignore them, or disable them.

Yep. The sky isn't falling as fast as was previously believed.
