Question
How do I enable or disable IPv6 on my mAX Router?
Answer
NOTE: This article applies to the mAX W21, W121, W122 Express, W30, W130, W31, W133, W61, and the W161 Routers.

IPv6 is enabled by default in the mAX router which allows the client devices to receive IPv6 addresses from the service provider.  For IPv6 to work, the following should also provide support for the IPv6 functionality:
  • Internet service provider must provide both IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses to the mAX Router.
  • The client devices as well as the applications and operating system on the client devices must have the support for IPv6. 
This document describes how to enable and disable IPv6 in the mAX router.
