To set up a fixed IPv6 Internet connection:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the modem 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 Fixed.
The page adjusts.
6.
Configure the fixed IPv6 addresses for the WAN connection:
•
IPv6 Address/Prefix Length. The IPv6 address and prefix length of the modem router WAN interface
that your ISP provided to you.
•
Default IPv6 Gateway. The IPv6 address of the default IPv6 gateway for the modem router’s WAN
interface that your ISP provided to you.
•
Primary DNS. The primary DNS server that resolves IPv6 domain name records for the modem
router that your ISP provided to you.
•
Secondary DNS. The secondary DNS server that resolves IPv6 domain name records for the
modem router that your ISP provided to you.
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
Manually Set Up an ADSL Internet Connection
on page 43, or
Manually Set Up a Cable or Fiber Internet
on page 48).
Note
7.
Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
•
Use DHCP Server. The modem router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network
(the 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 fields, specify the static IPv6 address and prefix length of the modem
router’s LAN interface.
If you do not specify an address here, the modem router generates one automatically from its MAC
address.
9.
Select the IPv6 filtering mode:
