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 BASIC Home page displays.

4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > IPv6.

The IPv6 page displays.

5. From the Internet Connection Type menu, select DHCP.

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.

(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.

(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 router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your

home network (the LAN).

(Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID check box and specify the interface ID

to be used for the IPv6 address of the router’s LAN interface.

If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC

address.
