If you do not specify the DNS servers, the modem router uses the DNS servers that are
configured for the IPv4 Internet connection on the Internet Setup page (see

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.
8.
In the
IPv6 Address/Prefix Length
