To set up a pass-through IPv6 Internet connection:
1.
Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.

Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
