N450 Wireless Router WNR2500 The 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 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 LAN. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired for the 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. 3. In the Login field, enter the login information for the ISP connection. This name is usually the name that you use in your email address. For example, if your main mail account is [email protected], you would type JerAB in this field. Some ISPs (like Mindspring, Earthlink, and T-DSL) require that you use your full email address when you log in. If your ISP requires your full email address, type it in this field. 4. In the Password field, enter the password for the ISP connection. 5. In the Service Name name field, enter a service name. If your ISP did not provide a service name, leave this field blank. Note: The default setting of the Connection Mode field is Always On to provide a steady IPv6 connection. The router never terminates the connection. If the connection is terminated, for example, when the modem is turned off, the router attempts to reestablish the connection immediately after the PPPoE connection becomes available again. 6. Specify how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network (the LAN) by selecting one of the following radio buttons: • Use DHCP Server. This method passes more information to LAN devices, but some IPv6 systems might not support the DHCv6 client function. • Auto Config. This is the default setting. 7. (Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID check box, and specify the interface ID that you want to be used for the IPv6 address of the router's LAN interface. If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC address. 8. Specify IPv6 filtering. When the connection type is not IPv6 Pass Through or Disabled, the router starts the stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the WAN interface. The router creates connection records and checks every inbound IPv6 packet. The router blocks this packet when the inbound packet is not destined to the router itself and the router does not expect to receive such a packet. The router also blocks this packet when the packet is not in the connection record. This function has two modes. Specify the mode by selecting one of the following radio buttons: Advanced Settings 113
