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

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
Note
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.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. This is the default setting.
•
Auto Config. The 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. Select the IPv6 filtering mode:
•
Secured. In secured mode, which is the default mode, the modem router inspects both TCP and
UDP packets.
•
Open. In open mode, the modem router inspects UDP packets only.
13. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Set Up an IPv6 Connection Through Auto Config
If your Internet connection does not use PPPoE, DHCP, a fixed IP address, or pass-through but is IPv6,
use the Auto Config connection type, which lets the modem router autoconfigure its IPv6 connection.
