Configure the fixed IPv6 addresses for the WAN connection:
•
IPv6 Address/Prefix Length
. The IPv6 address and prefix length of the router WAN
interface.
•
Default IPv6 Gateway
. The IPv6 address of the default IPv6 gateway for the router’s
WAN interface.
•
Primary DNS Server
. The primary DNS server that resolves IPv6 domain name
records for the router.
•
Secondary DNS Server
. The secondary DNS server that resolves IPv6 domain
name records for the router.
Note:
If you do not specify the DNS servers, the router uses the DNS servers
that are configured for the IPv4 Internet connection on the Internet
Setup page. (See
Manually Set Up the Internet Connection
on
page
23.)
7.
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.
This setting specifies how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home
network (the LAN).
8.
In the
IPv6 Address/Prefix Length
fields, specify the static IPv6 address and prefix length
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 DHCP Internet Connection
To set up an IPv6 Internet connection with a DHCP server:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
or
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is

.
The IPv6 page displays.
5.
In the
Internet Connection Type
menu, select
DHCP
.
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.
Select an IPv6 Domain Name Server (DNS) Address radio button:
•

•
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.
(Optional) In the
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.
8.
(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, 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.

In the
Internet Connection Type
menu, select
PPPoE
.
6.
Enter the settings that your service provider gave you.
If your service provider gave you only one user name and password, the service provider
most likely supports dual stack PPPoE (a single PPP session). If the service provider
gave you two user names and passwords for IPv4 and IPv6, then the router must use
different PPP session.
•
To use separate PPP sessions (the default setting), leave the

and
Password
fields.
•
To use a single PPP session to establish the IPv4 and IPv6 Internet 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 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.

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

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.

Change the MTU Size
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits.
When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets
travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path uses a lower MTU
setting than the other devices, the data packets must be split or “fragmented” to
accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.
