Manual IPv6 Internet Connection Option
For the advanced user that have configured a router before, click on the Manual IPv6
Internet Connection Setup button to input all the settings manually.
On this page the user can manually configure the mode that the Router will use to
access an IPv6 Internet connection. There are several connection types to choose
from: Link-local, Static IPv6, DHCPv6, Stateless Auto-Configuration, PPPoE, IPv6
over IPv4 Tunnel and 6to4. If you are unsure of your connection method, please
contact your IPv6 ISP.
IPv6 Connection Type: Link-Local Only
The Link-local address is used by nodes and routers when communicating with
neighboring nodes on the same link. This mode enables IPv6-capable devices to
communicate with each other on the LAN side.
The following parameters will be available for configuration:

IPv6 Connection Type: Auto Detection
In the following section we’ll discuss the parameters that can be configured when
setting up an Auto Detection (Stateless/DHCPv6) connection. This is a method of
connection where the ISP assigns your IPv6 address when your router requests one
from the ISP’s server. Some ISP’s require you to make some settings on your side
before your router can connect to the IPv6 Internet.
