LAN Settings
The default IPv6 LAN address for the router is fec0::1 . You can change this 128 bit
IPv6 address based on your network requirements. The other field that defines the
LAN settings for the router is the prefix length. The IPv6 network (subnet) is
identified by the initial bits of the address called the prefix. By default this is
64
bits long. All hosts in the network have common initial bits for their IPv6 address;
the number of common initial bits in the network‘s addresses is set by the prefix
length field.
