If your Internet connection does not use pass-through, a fixed IP address, DHCP, or
PPPoE but is IPv6, use the Auto Config connection type, which lets the router
autoconfigure its IPv6 connection (see Use
Auto Config for an IPv6 Internet
Connection on page 32).
When you enable IPv6 and select any connection type other than IPv6 pass-through,
the router starts the stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the WAN interface.
The router creates connection records and checks every inbound IPv6 packet. If the
inbound packet is not destined to the router itself and the router does not expect to
receive such a packet, or the packet is not in the connection record, the router blocks
this packet. This function works in two modes: In secured mode, the router inspects
both TCP and UDP packets. In open mode, the router 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
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
network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. 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 Auto Detect.
The IPv6 page displays.
The router automatically detects the information in the following fields:
•
Connection Type. This field indicates the connection type that is detected.
