How to set Ipv6 (Tunnel 6 in 4) on R6300v2 & R8000 ?

HI, All

First, I created regular Tunnel by TunnelBorker. Then want to set the Tunnel 6 in 4 to NetGear R6300v2 or R8000

Then want to set the Tunnel 6 in 4 to NetGear R6300v2 or R8000. 

After testing ( www.ipv6-test.com ), the  "IPv6 Connectivity" status should be -->

  • Ipv6= Supported
  • Address= xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
  • Type= Native IPv6
  • SLAAC=No
  • ICMP= Reachable

How to config it ? Or Netgear Wireless AP do not support ? Why not ?

    If you are talking about netgears access point settings the dhcp assignment is turn off and handed off to the main router the access point only extends the router coverage area.
