IPv6 Help Document Typo

Firmware: 1.0.3.10

 

On the Netgear Admin Page -> routerip/adv_index.htm -> Advanced Setup -> IPv6

 

When you click help at the bottom it descirbes the vairous help stuff for the page.

 

On the IPv6 page there is a typo describing the two options for IPv6 (DHCP / Autoconfig)

 

"You can select how you want to assign IPv6 address to the devices on the LAN (i.e. your home network). You can use either the "DHCP Server" or "Auto Config" to assign IPv6 address. Using DHCP Server may pass more information to LAN devices, but some IPv6 systems may not support the DHCv6 client function. "Auto Config" is used by default."

 

The underline item should be DHCPv6

 

Same mistake on the KB page too: https://kb.netgear.com/24008/How-do-I-use-auto-detection-to-set-up-an-IPv6-Internet-connection-on-my-Nighthawk-router
