TP-Link AC2100 - Use the Public Ipv6 Tunnel Service-6 To4

Chapter 15
Specify Your Network Settings
IPv6 Tunnel is a transition mechanism that allows isolated IPv6 hosts and networks to
reach each other over IPv4-only infrastructure before IPv6 completely supplants IPv4.
It is a temporary solution for networks that do not support native dual-stack, where
both IPv6 and IPv4 run independently.
The modem router provides three tunneling mechanisms: 6to4, 6rd and DS-Lite. The
way to set up 6rd and DS-Lite tunnel are similar.
15. 6. 1. Use the Public IPv6 Tunnel Service-6to4
The 6to4 tunnel is a kind of public service. If there are any 6to4 servers on your network,
you can use this mechanism to access IPv6 service. If your ISP provides you with an
IPv4-only connection but you want to visit IPv6 websites, you can try to set up a 6to4
tunnel.
I want to:
Set up the IPv6 tunnel though my ISP doesn’t provide me with the tunnel service.
How can I do that?
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you
set for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network > IPv6 Tunnel.
3. Tick the check box, select 6to4 as the tunneling mechanism and select a WAN
connection from the drop-down list, then click Save.
Note:
If there is no available WAN connection to choose, make sure you have connected to the internet and the connection
type is not Bridge.
Done!
Now you can visit the IPv6 websites with the 6to4 tunnel.
Note:
Still not being able to access IPv6 resources means that not any 6to4 public server was found in your network. You can
contact your ISP to sign up for IPv6 connection service.
