The page adjusts:

The router automatically detects the information in the following fields:

• Connection T

ype. This field indicates the connection type that is detected.

• 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

6. Specify how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network (the

LAN) by selecting one of the following radio buttons:

• Use DHCP Server.

• Auto Config.

This is the default setting.

used for the IPv6 address of the router’
