AC1600 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D6400
The modem router automatically detects the information in the following fields:
•
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.

If your IPv6 ISP gave you a specific host name, in the
User Class (If Required)
field,
enter the host name.
If your IPv6 ISP did not give you a specific host name, you can leave this field blank.
8.
To specify a domain name, in the
Domain Name (If Required) field
, enter a domain name.
If your ISP gave you a specific domain name, enter it in this field. (For example, Earthlink

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. This is the default setting.
•
Auto Config
. The modem router automatically configures its IPv6 address based on the
IPv6 protocol.
10.
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.
11.
Click the
Apply
button.
Your settings are saved.
Set Up an IPv6 PPPoE Connection
An IPv6 PPPoE connection is based on a dynamic IPv6 address that a PPPoE service
assigns to the modem router.
Note:
Follow the directions that your IPv6 ISP gave you.
To set up an IPv6 PPPoE Internet connection:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
4.
Click the

7.
In the
Login
field, enter the login information for the ISP connection.
This is usually the name that you use in your email address. For example, if your main
mail account is [email protected], you would enter JerAB in this field. Some ISPs (such as
Earthlink) require that you use your full email address when you log in. If your ISP
requires your full email address, enter it in this field.
8.
In the
Password
field, enter the password for the ISP connection.
9.
In the
Service Name
field, enter a service name.
If your ISP did not provide a service name, leave this field blank.
Note:
The default setting of the
Connection Mode
menu is
Always On
to
provide a steady IPv6 connection. The modem router never terminates
the connection. If the connection is terminated, for example, when the
modem is turned off, the modem router attempts to reestablish the
connection immediately after the PPPoE connection becomes
available again.
