Note

We recommend only enabling one of the following settings: [IPv6 Gateway Address], [IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration], or [DHCPv6 Configuration]. If you enable all of them at the same time, IPv6 Gateway Address is automatically changed.
An IPv6 gateway address automatically acquired may be set by the router or in accordance with the DHCPv6 server settings if one of the following settings is enabled:
- Activate [IPv6 Gateway Address] and either [IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration] or [DHCPv6 Configuration].
- Activate [IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration] and [DHCPv6 Configuration] at the same time.
