Hello,
Today I have contacted by my ISP to propose a new broadband connection.
I currently have a public IPv4 line connected to my ISP modem which connects to my ASUS RT-AC87U with AsusWRT-Merlin 384.7.
Behind the router I have a couple of QNAP NASes and one Vu+ decoder that I can access remotely (using QNAP's DDNS "myqnapcloud").
The ISP is now proposing a new contract with IPv6. I would be required to use one of their modem router, but I already think to use it as modem only, leaving my ASUS RT-AC87U to do the usual job.
However I do not know how to configure my router to make it work. I know that on Advanced Settings, there is a section on IPv6, but I just want to ensure everything will continue to work.
The options are:
- Disable
- Native
- Static IPv6
- Passthrough
- FLET'S IPv6 service
- Tunnel 6to4
- Tunnel 6in4
- Tunnel 6rd
Can I kindly ask you some guidance? Beside the increased broadband speed , what are the other pros and are there any cons to do so?
Thanks in advance
