Note: If your ISP requires MAC authentication and another MAC address
has been previously registered with your ISP, then you need to enter
that address on the Broadband Advanced Options screen for the
corresponding WAN interface (see Configure Advanced WAN

Configure 6to4 Automatic Tunneling
If your network is an isolated IPv6 network that is not connected to an IPv6 ISP, you need to
make sure that the IPv6 packets can travel over the IPv4 Internet backbone by enabling
automatic 6to4 tunneling.
6to4 is a WAN tunnel mechanism for automatic tunneling of IPv6 traffic between a device
with an IPv6 address and a device with an IPv4 address, or the other way around. 6to4
tunneling is used to transfer IPv6 traffic between LAN IPv6 hosts and WAN IPv6 networks
over the IPv4 network.
