The modem router automatically detects the information in the Router’s IPv6 Address On
LAN field. 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.
7.
Select a Remote 6to4 Relay Router radio button:
•
Auto
. Your modem router uses any remote relay modem router that is available on
the Internet. This is the default setting.
•
Static IP Address

not
IPv6) address of the remote relay
modem router. Your IPv6 ISP usually provides this address.
