5. From the Internet Connection Type menu, select DHCP.
The modem 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 modem
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 modem
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. (Optional) In the User Class (If Required) field, enter a host name.
Most people can leave this field blank, but if your ISP gave you a specific host name, enter it here.
7. (Optional) In the Domain Name (If Required) field, enter a domain name.
You can type the domain name of your IPv6 ISP. Do not enter the domain name for the IPv4 ISP here.
For example, if your ISP’s mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, type xxx.yyy.zzz as the domain name. If your
ISP provided a domain name, type it in this field. For example, Earthlink Cable might require a host
name of home, and Comcast sometimes supplies a domain name.
8. 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 modem router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home
network (the LAN).
9. (Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID check box and specify the interface ID to be used for the
IPv6 address of the modem router’s LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the modem router generates one automatically from its MAC address.
10. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
