IPv6 Local Network (LAN)
These settings are for your IPv6 local network only and do not
apply to your Internet / ISP connection. The LAN IPv6 Link-
Local Address is the IPv6 Address that you use to access the
web-based management interface. If you change the LAN IPv6
Address here, you may need to adjust your PC’s network
settings to access the network again. DHCP can be used to
acquire an IPv6 prefix for the LAN interface. These settings are
for advanced users with a good understanding of IPv6 addresses,
DHCPv6 servers and DNSv6 servers. If you are not familiar with
these settings, please contact a network administrator for
assistance.
IP Address:
The IPv6 IP address of the Router.
Prefix Length
:
Functions similar to the subnet mask of an IPv4 IP address.
The IPv6 Local IP Address is the IPv6 Address that you use to access the web-based management interface. If you
change the LAN IPv6 Address here, you may need to adjust your PC’s network settings to access the network again.
DHCP can be used to acquire an IPv6 prefix for the LAN interface.
DHCPv6 is a network protocol that is used for configuring IPv6 hosts with IP addresses, IP prefixes and/or other
configurations required to operate on an IPv6 network.
IPv6 hosts can acquire IP addresses by using DHCPv6.
The DHCP Unique Identifier (DUID) is used by a client to get an IP address from a DHCPv6 server. The server
compares the DUID with its database and delivers configuration data (address, lease times, DNS servers, etc.) to
the client.
Internet Network (WAN)
The Basic Setup Wizard will assist you in setting up your Internet
connection. However, in the case that you wish to adjust settings
manually, the options on this page provides you with the tools to
do this easily.
Select your Internet Connection type from the drop down menu:
Manual IP (Static):
For Internet connections where the Internet provider does not provide you with an IP
address automatically. If you know the IP address and DNS settings that your Internet provider uses, select this
option.
Automatic/Dynamic (DHCP): This is the configuration type most often used by Internet providers. Automatic
configurations are used by both DSL and Cable as well as other providers. Under the Automatic Configuration
method, the Internet provider will assign your router an Internet IP address automatically.
