Idle Timeout (In Minutes)
If you select
Dial on Demand
from the
Connection Mode
menu, enter the
idle time-out period in minutes.
The idle time-out specifies how long the modem router keeps the Internet
connection active when no one on the network is using the Internet
connection. The default is 5 minutes. To disable the idle time-out, enter
0
.
(When you disable the idle time-out, the connection is not terminated
automatically).
Internet IP Address
Get Dynamically from ISP
Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP automatically
assigns these addresses.
Use Static IP Address
Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and gateway IP address that your
ISP assigned you for static IP address service. The gateway is the ISP
router to which your modem router connects.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their domain names.
Get Automatically from ISP
Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP automatically
assigns this address.
Use These DNS Servers
If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses
to the modem router during login, select this option and enter the IP
address of your ISP primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server
address is available, enter it also.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT allows computers on your home network to share the modem router Internet connection. NAT is
enabled by default because it is required in most situations. Select the NAT setting:
•
Enable
. NAT is enabled. This is the default setting. Leave this setting if no reason to disable NAT
exists.
•
Disable
. NAT is disabled.
Router MAC Address
The Ethernet MAC address that the modem router uses on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC
address of the network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They accept
traffic only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your
computer’s MAC address (also called cloning).
Use Default Address
Use the default MAC address.
Use Computer MAC Address
The modem router captures and uses the MAC address of the computer
that you are now using. You must use the one computer that is registered
by the ISP.
Use This MAC Address
Enter the MAC address that you want to use. By default, the field displays
the MAC address of the Internet port.

Specify an IPv6 Internet Connection
If you want to use an IPv6 Internet connection, you must specify the settings manually.
NETGEAR genie does not detect an IPv6 Internet connection automatically.
IPv6 Internet Connections and IPv6 Addresses
The modem router can support an IPv6 Internet connection through the following connection
types:
•
Auto Detect
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 Connection Through Auto Detect
on page
74.
•
6to4 tunnel
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Connection
on
page
76.
•
Pass-through
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 Pass-Through Connection
on
page
77.
•
Fixed
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 Fixed Connection
on page
78.
•
DHCP
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 DHCP Connection
on page
80.
•
PPP over Ethernet
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 PPPoE Connection
on
page
82.
•
Auto Config
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 Connection Through Auto Config
on page
84.
•
6rd tunnel
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Connection
on
page
86.
Which connection type you must use depends on your IPv6 ISP. Follow the directions that
your IPv6 ISP gave you.
•
If your ISP did not provide details, use the 6to4 tunnel connection type (see
Set Up an
IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Connection
on page
76).
•
If you are not sure what type of IPv6 connection the modem router uses, use the Auto
Detect connection type, which lets the modem router detect the IPv6 type that is in use
(see
Set Up an IPv6 Connection Through Auto Detect
on page
74).
•
If your Internet connection does not use PPPoE, DHCP, a fixed IP address, or
pass-through but is IPv6, use the Auto Config connection type, which lets the modem
router autoconfigure its IPv6 connection (see
Set Up an IPv6 Connection Through Auto
Config
on page
84).
When you enable IPv6 and select any connection type other than IPv6 pass-through, the
modem router starts the stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the WAN
interface. The modem router creates connection records and checks every inbound IPv6
packet. If the inbound packet is not destined to the modem router itself and the modem router
does not expect to receive such a packet, or the packet is not in the connection record, the

modem router blocks this packet. This function works in two modes: In secured mode, the
modem router inspects both TCP and UDP packets. In open mode, the modem router
inspects UDP packets only.
IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated by
colons. You can reduce any four-digit group of zeros within an IPv6 address to a single zero
or omit it. The following errors invalidate an IPv6 address:
•
More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets
•
More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet
•
More than two colons in a row
Set Up an IPv6 Connection Through Auto Detect
If you are not sure what type of IPv6 connection the modem router uses, use the Auto Detect
connection type, which lets the modem router detect the IPv6 type that is in use.
To set up an IPv6 Internet connection through auto detection:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type

The modem router automatically detects the information in the following fields:
•
Connection Type
. This field indicates the connection type that is detected.
•
Router’s IPv6 Address on WAN
. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired
for the modem router’s WAN (or Internet) interface. The number after the slash (/) is
the length of the prefix, which is also indicated by the underline (_) under the IPv6
address. If no address is acquired, the field displays Not Available.
•
Router’s IPv6 Address on LAN
. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired
for the modem router’s LAN interface. The number after the slash (/) is the length of
the prefix, which is also indicated by the underline (_) under the IPv6 address. If no
address is acquired, the field displays Not Available.
7.
Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
•
Use DHCP Server
. The modem router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your
home network (the LAN) through a DHCP server. This method passes more information
to LAN devices, but some IPv6 systems might not support the DHCPv6 client
function.
•
Auto Config
. This is the default setting.
8.
To specify the interface ID for the IPv6 address of the modem router’s LAN interface, select
the
Use This Interface ID
check box, and enter the interface ID.
If you do not specify an ID here, the modem router generates one automatically from its
MAC address.
