Use Auto Config for an IPV6 Internet Connection
To set up an IPv6 Internet connection through auto configuration:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi
network.
2.
Enter
orbilogin.com
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > IPv6
.
The IPv6 page displays.
5.
From the
Internet Connection Type
menu, select
Auto Config
.
The 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 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 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.
(Optional) In the
DHCP User Class (If Required)
field, enter a host name.

Most people can leave this field blank, but if your ISP gave you a specific host name,
enter it here.
7.
(Optional) In the
DHCP Domain Name (If Required)
field, enter a domain name.
You can type the domain name of your IPv6 ISP. Do not enter the domain name for the
IPv4 ISP here. For example, if your ISP’s mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, type xxx.yyy.zzz
as the domain name. If your ISP provided a domain name, type it in this field. For
example, Earthlink Cable might require a host name of home, and Comcast sometimes
supplies a domain name.

Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
•
Use DHCP Server
. This method passes more information to LAN devices, but some
IPv6 systems might not support the DHCv6 client function.
•
Auto Config
. This is the default setting.
9.
(Optional) Select the
Use This Interface ID
check box and specify the interface ID that you
want to be used for the IPv6 address of the router’s LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC
address.

Set Up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet Connection
The 6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service provider’s IPv4
network. 6rd uses the service provider’s own IPv6 address prefix. This limits the operational
domain of 6rd to the service provider’s network and is under direct control of the service
provider. The IPv6 service provided is equivalent to native IPv6. The 6rd mechanism relies
on an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses that are assigned for use
within the service provider’s network. This mapping allows for automatic determination of
IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prefixes, allowing stateless operation of 6rd.
With a 6rd Tunnel configuration, the router follows the RFC5969 standard, supporting two
ways to establish a 6rd tunnel IPv6 WAN connection:
•
Auto Detect Mode
. In IPv6 Auto Detect mode, when the router receives option 212 from
the DHCPv4 option, auto detect selects the IPv6 as 6rd Tunnel setting. The router uses
the 6rd option information to establish the 6rd connection.
•
Manual Mode
. Select
6rd
. If the router receives option 212, the fields are automatically
completed. Otherwise, you must enter the 6rd settings.
To set up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet connection:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi
network.
2.
Enter
orbilogin.com
.
A login window opens.

menu, select
6rd
.
The router automatically detects the information in the following sections:
•
6rd (IPv6 Rapid Development) Configuration.
The router detects the service
provider’s IPv4 network and attempts to establish an IPv6 6rd Tunnel connection. If
the IPv4 network returns 6rd parameters to the router, the page adjusts to display the
correct settings in this section.
•
Router’s IPv6 Address on LAN
. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired
for the 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 IPv6 Domain Name Server (DNS) Address radio button:
•
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 requires specific servers, select
this option. Enter the IP address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary
DNS server address is available, enter it also.
7.
Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
•
Use DHCP Server
. This method passes more information to LAN devices, but some

•

This setting specifies how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home

Set Up an IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Internet Connection
The remote relay router is the router to which your router creates a 6to4 tunnel. Make sure
that the IPv4 Internet connection is working before you apply the 6to4 tunnel settings for the
IPv6 connection.
To set up an IPv6 Internet connection by using a 6to4 tunnel:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi
network.
2.
Enter

1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi
network.
