Nighthawk X10 AD7200 Smart WiFi Router • Primary DNS Server. The primary DNS server that resolves IPv6 domain name records for the router. • Secondary DNS Server. The secondary DNS server that resolves IPv6 domain name records for the router. Note If you do not specify the DNS servers, the router uses the DNS servers that are configured for the IPv4 Internet connection on the Internet Setup page. (See Manually Set Up the Internet Connection on page 23.) 7. Select an IP Address Assignment radio button: • Use DHCP Server. This method passes more information to LAN devices but some IPv6 systems might not support the DHCPv6 client function. • Auto Config. This is the default setting. This setting specifies how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network (the LAN). 8. In the IPv6 Address/Prefix Length fields, specify the static IPv6 address and prefix length of the router's LAN interface. If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC address. 9. Select an IPv6 Filtering radio button: Secured. In secured mode, which is the default mode, the router inspects both TCP and UDP packets. Open. In open mode, the router inspects UDP packets only. 10. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. Set Up an IPv6 DHCP Internet Connection To set up an IPv6 Internet connection with a DHCP server: 1.
