IP Address. If you have another router handling your
network’s Internet connection, enter the IP Address of
that router instead.
Hop Count
This value gives the number of nodes that a
data packet passes through before reaching its destination.
A node is any device on the network, such as switches,
PCs, etc. The maximum hop count value is 16.

IPv4 Only
Select this option to use IPv4 on the Internet
and local network.
Dual-Stack IP
Select this option to use IPv4 on the
Internet and IPv4 and IPv6 on the local network. Then
select how the IPv6 hosts will connect to the Internet:
NAPT-PT
•
This allows an IPv6-only host on your LAN to
connect to IPv4-only hosts on the WAN using address-
translation and protocol-translation (per RFC2766).
6to4 Tunnel
•
This allows your IPv6 network to connect
to other IPv6 networks via tunnels through IPv4 (per
RFC3056). The remote router also needs to support
6to4.
