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 LAN1. 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.If your ISP gave you a specific host name, in the DHCP User Class (If Required) field, enter the host name.

If your ISP did not give you a specific host name, leave this field blank.

8.To specify a domain name, in the DHCP Domain Name (If Required) field, enter a domain name.

If your ISP gave you a specific domain name, enter it in this field. (For example, Earthlink Cable might require a host name of home, and Comcast sometimes supplies a domain name.)

If your ISP did not give you a specific domain name, you can either leave this field blank or enter the domain name of your IPv6 ISP. (Do not enter the domain name for the IPv4 ISP here.) For example, if your ISP’s mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, enter xxx.yyy.zzz as the domain name.
