If you want to use an IPv6 Internet connection, you must specify the settings manually.
NETGEAR genie does not detect an IPv6 Internet connection automatically.
IPv6 Internet Connections and IPv6 Addresses
The modem router can support an IPv6 Internet connection through the following connection
types:
•
Auto Detect. For more information, see
on page 74.
•
6to4 tunnel. For more information, see
page 76.
•
Pass-through. For more information, see
page 77.
•
Fixed. For more information, see
•
DHCP. For more information, see
•
PPP over Ethernet. For more information, see
page 82.
•
Auto Config. For more information, see
on page 84.
•
6rd tunnel. For more information, see
page 86.
Which connection type you must use depends on your IPv6 ISP. Follow the directions that
your IPv6 ISP gave you.
•
If your ISP did not provide details, use the 6to4 tunnel connection type (see
IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Connection
•
If you are not sure what type of IPv6 connection the modem router uses, use the Auto
Detect connection type, which lets the modem router detect the IPv6 type that is in use
(see
Set Up an IPv6 Connection Through Auto Detect
•
If your Internet connection does not use PPPoE, DHCP, a fixed IP address, or
pass-through but is IPv6, use the Auto Config connection type, which lets the modem
router autoconfigure its IPv6 connection (see
Config
on page 84).
When you enable IPv6 and select any connection type other than IPv6 pass-through, the
modem router starts the stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the WAN
interface. The modem router creates connection records and checks every inbound IPv6
packet. If the inbound packet is not destined to the modem router itself and the modem router
does not expect to receive such a packet, or the packet is not in the connection record, the
