System
The router automatically detects the information in the following fields:
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.
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. 
In the Login field, enter the login information for the ISP connection.
This is usually the name that you use in your email address. For example, if your main 
mail account is JerAB@ISP.com, you would type JerAB in this field. Some ISPs (like 
Mindspring, Earthlink, and T-DSL) require that you use your full email address when you 
log in. If your ISP requires your full email address, type it in this field.
7. 
In the Password field, enter the password for the ISP connection.
8. 
In the Service Name field, enter a service name.
If your ISP did not provide a service name, leave this field blank.
Note:
The default setting of the Connection Mode field is Always On to 
provide a steady IPv6 connection. The router never terminates the 
connection. If the connection is terminated, for example, when the 
modem is turned off, the router attempts to reestablish the connection 
immediately after the PPPoE connection becomes available again.
9. 
Select an IPv6 Domain Name Server (DNS) Address radio button:
Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your 
ISP automatically assigns this address.
Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP requires specific servers, select 
this option. Enter the IP address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary 
DNS server address is available, enter it also.
10. 
(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 router’s LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC 
address.

Click the Apply button.
