• If your ISP did not provide details, you can select IPv6 T
 unnel. 
• If you are not sure, select  Auto Detect so that the modem router detects the IPv6 
type that is in use.
• If your Internet connection does not use PPPoE, DHCP
 , or fixed, but is IPv6, select

Requirements for Entering IPv6 Addresses
IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that \
are separated by 
colons. Any four-digit group of zeroes within an IPv6 address can be reduced to \
a single zero 
or altogether omitted.
The following errors invalidate an IPv6 address: • More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets
• More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet
• More than two colons in a row
