IPv6 DHCP
To set up an IPv6 Internet connection with a DHCP server:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > IPv6
.
The IPv6 screen displays.
2.
In the Internet Connection Type list, select
DHCP
.
The screen adjusts:
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.
3.
(Optional) In the DHCP User Class (If Required) field, enter a host name.
Most people do not need to fill in this field, but if your ISP has given you a specific host
name, enter it here.
4.
(Optional) In the 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, you would 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.)
5.
Specify how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network (the
LAN) by selecting one of the following radio buttons:

6.
(Optional) Select the
Use This Interface ID

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.

IPv6 PPPoE
To set up a PPPoE IPv6 Internet connection:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > IPv6

2.
In the Internet Connection Type list, select
PPPoE
.
The screen adjusts:
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.

This is usually the name that you use in your email address. For example, if your main
mail account is [email protected], you would type JerAB in this field. Some ISPs (like
Mindspring, Earthlink, and T-DSL) require that you use your full email address when you
log in. If your ISP requires your full email address, type it in this field.
4.
In the Password field, enter the password for the ISP connection.
5.
In the Service Name 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 field is Always on to provide
a steady IPv6 connection. The router never terminates the connection. If the
connection is terminated, for example, when the modem is turned off, the router
attempts to reestablish the connection immediately after the PPPoE
connection becomes available again.

Specify how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network (the
LAN) by selecting one of the following radio buttons:
•
