Section 5 - Connect to the Internet WAN Settings Path: Network > IPv6 > WAN1 Settings For IPv6 WAN connections, this router can have a static IPv6 address or receive connection information when configured as a DHCPv6 client. In the case where the ISP assigns you a fixed address to access the internet, the static configuration settings must be completed. In addition to the IPv6 address assigned to your router, the IPv6 prefix length defined by the ISP is needed. The default IPv6 Gateway address is the server at the ISP that this router will connect to for accessing the internet. The primary and secondary DNS servers on the ISP's IPv6 network are used for resolving internet addresses, and these are provided along with the static IP address and prefix length from the ISP. When the ISP allows you to obtain the WAN IP settings via DHCP, you need to provide details for the DHCPv6 client configuration. The DHCPv6 client on the gateway can be either stateless or stateful. If a stateful client is selected the gateway will connect to the ISP's DHCPv6 server for a leased address. For stateless DHCP there need not be a DHCPv6 server available at the ISP, rather ICMPv6 discover messages will originate from this gateway and will be used for auto configuration. A third option to specify the IP address and prefix length of a preferred DHCPv6 server is available as well. Dynamic IP To configure a dynamic (DHCP) IPv6 Internet connection: 1. Click Network > IPv6 > IPv6 WAN1 Settings. 2. Complete the fields in the table below and click Save. Field Description Connection Type Select DHCPv6 from the drop-down menu.
