IPv6 Internet connection settings
IPv6 is a new IP protocol that uses simplified packet headers and requires IPSec.
It also has improved support for mobile IP and computing devices.
Note:
To use your router’s IPv6 Internet connection settings, IPv6 service from your
ISP (Internet service provider) is required. For more information on this service,
ask your ISP.
To manually configure your router’s IPv6 settings:
• UseanEthernetcabletoconnectyourroutertoyourcomputer.

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR DUALBAND ROUTER
The most common reason people purchase dual-band routers is to ensure available
bandwidth for streaming high-definition video. Users also want to make sure that
their video streams won’t be interrupted by other wireless network traffic. To get
the most out of your dual-band router, you should upgrade your wireless clients
and split your traffic.
Upgrade your wireless clients
If you have network adapters that support only legacy wireless network standards
such as 802.b, you should consider upgrading them with Wireless-N (802.n) net-
work adapters. Wireless-B (802.b) devices can slow your entire wireless network.
For the best performance, all of your wireless devices should support Wireless-N.
You can then select Wireless-N Only as your Network Mode below.
