AC1200 WiFi DSL Modem Router—Essentials Edition Model D6100
The modem 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 modem 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 modem 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.
7. 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 enter JerAB in this field. Some ISPs (such as
Earthlink) require that you use your full email address when you log in. If your ISP
requires your full email address, enter it in this field.
8. In the
Password field, enter the password for the ISP connection.
9. 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 menu is Always On to
provide a steady IPv6 connection. The modem router never terminates
the connection. If the connection is terminated, for example, when the
modem is turned off, the modem router attempts to reestablish the
connection immediately after the PPPoE connection becomes
available again.
10. Select an IP
Address
Assignment radio button:
• Use DHCP Server. T
he 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 DHCv6 client function.
This is the default setting.
• Auto Config.
T
he modem router automatically configures its IPv6 address based on the
IPv6 protocol.
11. To specify the interface ID for the IPv6 address of the modem router’
s LAN interface, select
the Use This Interface ID check box, and enter the interface ID.
If you do not specify an ID here, the modem router generates one automatically from its
MAC address.
12. Specify the IPv6 filtering mode:
• Secured. In secured mode, the modem router inspects both TCP and UDP packets.
• Open
. In open mode, the modem router inspects UDP packets only.
This is the
default mode.
13. Click the Apply button.
