Auto Detect


To set up an IPv6 Internet connection through auto detection:
1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > IPv6.
The IPv6 screen displays.
2. In the Internet Connection Type list, select Auto Detect.
The screen adjusts:
The modem router automatically detects the information in the following fields:
• Connection Type. 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 modem 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 modem 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.
3. Specify how the modem router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home
network (the LAN) by selecting one of the following radio buttons:
• 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.
4. (Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID check box, and specify the interface ID that you
want to be used for the IPv6 address of the modem router's LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the modem router generates one automatically from its
MAC address.
5. Click the Apply button.
