Manual IPv6 Internet Connection Option

For the advanced user that have configured a router before, click on the Manual IPv6 Internet Connection Setup button to input all the settings manually.

On this page the user can manually configure the mode that the Router will use to access an IPv6 Internet connection. There are several connection types to choose from: Link-local, Static IPv6, DHCPv6, Stateless Auto-Configuration, PPPoE, IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnel and 6to4. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your IPv6 ISP.

IPv6 Connection Type: Auto Detection

In the following section we’ll discuss the parameters that can be configured when setting up an Auto Detection (Stateless/DHCPv6) connection. This is a method of connection where the ISP assigns your IPv6 address when your router requests one from the ISP’s server. Some ISP’s require you to make some settings on your side before your router can connect to the IPv6 Internet.
