IPv6 Tunnel is a transition mechanism that enables IPv6-only hosts to reach IPv4 services or vice versa and allows isolated IPv6 hosts and networks to reach each other over IPv4-only infrastructure before IPv6 completely supplants IPv4. It is a temporary solution for networks that do not support native dual-stack, where both IPv6 and IPv4 run independently. The modem router provides three tunneling mechanisms: 6to4, 6rd and DS-Lite. The way to set up 6rd and DS-Lite tunnel are similar. 14. 7. 1. Use the Public IPv6 Tunnel Service-6to4 The 6to4 tunnel is a kind of public service. If there are any 6to4 servers on your network, you can use this mechanism to access IPv6 service.

Set up the IPv6 tunnel though my ISP doesn't provide me with the tunnel service. 1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the account you set for the router. 2. Go to Advanced > Network > IPv6 Tunnel. 3. Tick the check box, select 6to4 as the tunneling mechanism and select a WAN connection from the drop-down list, then click Save. Done! Note: If there is no available WAN connection to choose, make sure you have connected to the internet and the connection type is not Bridge. Now you can visit the IPv6 websites with the 6to4 tunnel. 112

Set Up the IPv6 Tunnel
The IPv6 Tunnel feature helps you obtain IPv6 resources based on an IPv4 WAN
connection or vice versa.
IPv6 Tunnel is a transition mechanism that enables IPv6-only hosts to reach IPv4
services or vice versa and allows isolated IPv6 hosts and networks to reach each other
over IPv4-only infrastructure before IPv6 completely supplants IPv4. It is a temporary
solution for networks that do not support native dual-stack, where both IPv6 and IPv4
run independently.
The modem router provides three tunneling mechanisms:
6to4
,
6rd
and
DS-Lite
. The
way to set up 6rd and DS-Lite tunnel are similar.

Use the Public IPv6 Tunnel Service-6to4
The 6to4 tunnel is a kind of public service. If there are any 6to4 servers on your network,
you can use this mechanism to access IPv6 service. If your ISP provides you with an
IPv4-only connection but you want to visit IPv6 websites
,
you can try to set up a 6to4
tunnel.
Set up the IPv6 tunnel though my ISP doesn’t provide me with
the tunnel service.
Visit
http://tplinkmodem.net
, and log in with the account you
set for the router.
Go to
Advanced
>
Network
>
IPv6 Tunnel
.
Tick the check box, select
6to4
as the tunneling mechanism
and select a WAN connection from the drop-down list, then
click
Save
.
Note:
If there is no available WAN connection to choose, make sure you have
connected to the internet and the connection type is not Bridge.
Now you can visit the IPv6 websites with the 6to4 tunnel.
I want to:
How can I
do that?
Done!
