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 83).
•
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 81).
•
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 91).
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

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 a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.

From the
Internet Connection Type
menu, select
Auto Detect
.
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.
6.
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.

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.
8.
Select the IPv6 filtering mode:
•

Set Up an IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Connection
With an IPv6 connection, your modem router creates a 6to4 tunnel to a remote relay router. Make sure that the IPv4
Internet connection is working before you apply the 6to4 tunnel settings for the IPv6 connection.
Follow the directions that your IPv6 ISP gave you.
Note
To set up an IPv6 Internet connection by using a 6to4 tunnel:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the modem router user name and password.
