• Router's IPv6 Address on LAN. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired

which is also indicated by the underline (_) under the IPv6 address. If no address
is acquired, the field displays Not Available.

this option. Enter the IP address of your ISP's primary DNS server. If a secondary
DNS server address is available, enter it also.

your the LAN. This is the default setting.

network (the LAN).
8. (Optional) In the LAN Setup section, select the Use This Interface ID check box and
specify the interface ID to be used for the IPv6 address of the AP's LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the AP generates one automatically from its MAC
address.

• Secured. In secured mode, which is the default mode, the router inspects both
TCP and UDP packets.
