Your NetComm NF2 should have IPv6 enabled by default. This guide is only required if IPv6 has been manually disabled during initial setup or via the configuration options.
Configuring your IPv6 connection
Step 1
- Make sure that your computer is connected to your router with an Ethernet cable or wireless connection.
- Open your preferred web browser, for example: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox.
- Enter the following number into the address bar and then hit Enter on your keyboard:
- 192.168.20.1 (this number is called an IP Address).

|---|---|
| Password: | admin |
| This is the router's default username and password. We recommend that you change the password for security reasons. |
|
- Click OK to log in to the router.
Step 3
- If a black background is displayed click the link on the bottom of the page: Switch to advanced view.

Step 5
- You should now be on the IPv6 Configuration page.
- Select PPPoE from the IPv6 Connection drop down menu.
- Ensure Autoconfiguration is set to Enable.
- Ensure Autoconfiguration Type is set to Stateless.
- Click Save.
- If a pop-up window appears advising that the router needs to restart, simply click Reboot at the bottom of the page and wait until the countdown completes.
