network (the LAN).

If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC address.

Set up an IPv6 pass-through Internet connection
In pass-through mode, the router works as a Layer 2 Ethernet switch with two ports (LAN and
WAN Ethernet ports) for IPv6 packets. The router does not process any IPv6 header packets.
To set up a pass-through IPv6 Internet connection:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2.
Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you
logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
