Set up an IPv6 6rd tunnel Internet connection
The 6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service provider’s
IPv4 network. 6rd uses the service provider’s own IPv6 address prex. This limits the
operational domain of 6rd to the service provider’s network and is under direct control
of the service provider. The IPv6 service provided is equivalent to native IPv6. The 6rd
mechanism relies on an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses that
are assigned for use within the service provider’s network. This mapping allows for
automatic determination of IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prexes, allowing stateless
operation of 6rd.
With a 6rd Tunnel conguration, the router follows the RFC5969 standard, supporting
two ways to establish a 6rd tunnel IPv6 WAN connection:
•Auto Detect Mode. In IPv6 Auto Detect mode, when the router receives option 212
from the DHCPv4 option, auto detect selects the IPv6 as 6rd Tunnel setting. The
router uses the 6rd option information to establish the 6rd connection.
•Manual Mode. Select 6rd. If the router receives option 212, the elds are
automatically completed. Otherwise, you must enter the 6rd settings.
To set up an IPv6 6rd tunnel Internet connection:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
Orbi network.

Change the MTU size
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device
transmits. When one network device communicates across the Internet with another,
the data packets travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path
uses a lower MTU setting than the other devices, the data packets must be split or
“fragmented” to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.
User Manual38Specify Your Internet Settings
Orbi Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 System
The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often the default value. In some
situations, changing the value xes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU
unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:
•You experience problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the
technical support of either the ISP or NETGEAR recommends changing the MTU
setting.
For example, if a secure website does not open, or displays only part of a web page,
you might need to change the MTU.
•You use VPN and experience severe performance problems.
•You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you are
experiencing connectivity or performance problems.
NOTE: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication problems.
For example, you might not be able to access certain websites, frames within
websites, secure login pages, or FTP or POP servers.
To change the MTU size:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
Orbi network.
2. Enter .orbilogin.com

Manage Dynamic DNS
Internet service providers (ISPs) assign numbers called IP addresses to identify each
Internet account. Most ISPs use dynamically assigned IP addresses. This means that the
IP address can change at any time. You can use the IP address to access your network
remotely, but most people don’t know what their IP addresses are or when this number
changes.
To make it easier to connect, you can get a free account with a Dynamic DNS service
that lets you use a domain name to access your home network. To use this account, you
must set up the router to use Dynamic DNS. Then the router noties the Dynamic DNS
service provider whenever its IP address changes. When you access your Dynamic DNS
account, the service finds the current IP address of your home network and automatically
connects you.
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic
DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.

Set up a default DMZ server
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and
videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation
(NAT). The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work
correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one
local computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is
entered as the default DMZ server.
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ server
loses much of the protection of the rewall and is exposed to exploits from the Internet.
If compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computers on
your network.
The router usually detects and discards incoming trafc from the Internet that is not a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you congured in the Port
Forwarding/Port Triggering page. Instead of discarding this trafc, you can specify that
the router forwards the trafc to one computer on your network. This computer is called
the default DMZ server.

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
Orbi network.

Use the router as a DHCP server
By default, the router acts as a Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) server. The
router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected
to the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP
address. Using the default addressing scheme, dene a range between 192.168.1.2
and 192.168.1.254, although you can save part of the range for devices with xed
addresses.

Manage custom static routes
Typically, you do not need to add static routes unless you use multiple routers or multiple
IP subnets on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
•Your main Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
•Your home network includes an ISDN router for connecting to the company where
you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.
•Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you set up your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route
was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your
local network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this conguration, if you try to access
a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The
ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the company
rewall is likely to deny the request.
In this case you must dene a static route, telling your router to access 134.177.0.0
through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. Here is an example:
•The and elds specify that this static routeDestination IP Address IP Subnet Mask
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
•The eld species that all trafc for these addresses will beGateway IP Address
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
•The check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in casePrivate
RIP is activated.
