Set Up an IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Connection
With an IPv6 connection, your modem router creates a 6to4 tunnel to a remote relay router. Make sure that the IPv4
Internet connection is working before you apply the 6to4 tunnel settings for the IPv6 connection. Follow the directions that your IPv6 ISP gave you.
Note
To set up an IPv6 Internet connection by using a 6to4 tunnel: 1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the 
modem router user name and password.
The user name is 
admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

							5.
From the Internet Connection Type menu, select 6to4 Tunnel. The 
modem router automatically detects the information in the Router’s IPv6 Address On LAN field. This field
shows the IPv6 address that is acquired for the modem router’s LAN interface. The number after the slash (/)
is the length of the prefix, which is also indicated b

y the underline (_) under the IPv6 address.
6. Select a Remote 6to4 Relay Router radio button:
•Auto
. Your modem router uses any remote relay modem router that is available on the Internet. This is the
def
ault setting.
• Static IP Address
. Enter the static IPv4 (not IPv6) address of the remote relay modem router. Your IPv6
ISP usually pro
vides this address.
7. Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
•Use DHCP Server. The modem router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network (the

• Auto Config. The modem router automatically configures its IPv6 address based on the \
IPv6 protocol.
8. T

o specify the interface ID for the IPv6 address of the modem router’s LAN interface, select the
