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

Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > IPv6. The IPv6 page displays.

From the Internet Connection Type menu, select DHCP. The page adjusts.
The router automatically detects the information in the following fields:
•
Router’sIPv6AddressonWAN. 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.
