3. 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 Dashboard displays.
4. Select Settings > Advanced Settings > IPv6.
The IPv6 page displays.
5. From the Internet Connection Type menu, select PPPoE.
The page adjusts.
The router automatically detects the information in the following fields:
•
Router’s IPv6 Address on WAN. 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.
•
Router’s IPv6 Address on LAN. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired
for the router’s LAN 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.
6. Either select the Use the same Login information as IPv4 PPPoE check box (for
IPv4 PPPoE information, see Specify an Internet Connection That Uses a Login on
page 30), or specify the following PPPoE login setting information for IPv6:
a. In the Login field, enter the login information for the ISP connection.
This is usually the name that you use in your email address. For example, if your
main mail account is [email protected], you would type JerAB in this field. Some
ISPs (like Mindspring, Earthlink, and T-DSL) require that you use your full email
address when you log in. If your ISP requires your full email address, type it in
this field.
b. In the Password field, enter the password for the ISP connection.
c. In the Service Name field, enter a service name.
If your ISP did not provide a service name, leave this field blank.
Note: The default setting of the Connection Mode menu is Always On to provide
a steady IPv6 connection. The router never terminates the connection. If the
connection is terminated, for example, when the modem is turned off, the router
attempts to reestablish the connection immediately after the PPPoE connection
becomes available again.
