After you click the Apply button, the 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 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. However, not
every IPv6 connection type shows the WAN address information.
• Router's IPv6 Address on LAN: This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired
for the 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.
6. Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
• Use DHCP Server: Use this method if devices on the LAN cannot receive an IPv6
address through auto configuration but must receive the IPv6 address through a
DHCP server.
• Auto Config: This is the default setting.
This setting specifies how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your
home network (the LAN).
7. (Optional) Select the Enable RIPng check box.
This selection enables RIP Next Generation (RIPng) on IPv6 Internet connections.
RIPng is an extension of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) that supports IPv6. You
might want to enable RIPng if you are an advanced user with a complex home network
configuration that requires dynamic routing.
8. (Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID check box and specify the interface ID
to be used for the IPv6 address of the router's LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC
address.
9. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
