Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
Use DHCP Server. The modem router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your 
home network (the LAN) through a DHCP server. This method passes more information 
to LAN devices, but some IPv6 systems might not support the DHCPv6 client 
function.
Auto Config. This is the default setting.

Set Up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Connection
The 6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service provider’s IPv4 
network. 6rd uses the service provider’s own IPv6 address prefix. This limits the operational 
domain of 6rd to the service provider’s network and is under direct control of the service 
provider. The IPv6 service that is provided is equivalent to native IPv6.
The 6rd mechanism relies on an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses 
that are assigned for use within the service provider’s network. This mapping allows for 
automatic determination of IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prefixes, enabling stateless 
operation of 6rd.
To set up an IPv6 6rd tunnel connection:
1. 
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. 
Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. 
Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.
4. 
Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5. 
Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > IPv6.
The IPv6 page displays.
6. 
From the Internet Connection Type menu, select 6rd Tunnel.
