When you enable IPv6 and select any connection type other than IPv6 pass-through,
the access point starts the stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the WAN
interface. This process is referred to as IPv6 filtering. The access point creates connection
records and checks every inbound IPv6 packet. If the inbound packet is not destined
for the access point itself and the access point does not expect to receive such a packet,
or the packet is not in the connection record, the access point blocks this packet. This
function works either in secured more or in open mode. In secured mode, the access
point inspects both TCP and UDP packets. In open mode, the access point inspects
UDP packets only.
IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated
by colons. You can reduce any four-digit group of zeros within an IPv6 address to a
single zero or omit it. The following errors invalidate an IPv6 address:
•
More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets
•
More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet
•
More than two colons in a row
Use Auto Detect for an IPv6 Internet connection [router
mode]
To set up an IPv6 Internet connection through autodetection:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
access point network.
2.
Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the
access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not
know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot
use routerlogin.net on page 27.
A login window displays.
If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 30.
