4. Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > 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. 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.
7. In the
Password
field, enter the password for the ISP connection.
8. 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.
9. Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
• Use DHCP Server
. This method passes more information to LAN devices but
some IPv6 systems might not support the DHCv6 client function.
• Auto Config
. This is the default setting.
This setting specifies how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your
home network (the LAN).
