How do I configure the IPv6 function on a HUAWEI router

The IPv6 function needs to be supported by the local carrier and is subject to other network servers. To ensure optimal Internet access, exercise caution when enabling the IPv6 function on the router. If your Internet experience deteriorates after IPv6 is enabled, disable IPv6 and try again. For more information, contact your local carrier.

To enable the IPv6 function on a router, perform the following operations:

If you are configuring IPv6 for the first time, the Internet access wizard page will be displayed. You can follow the wizard to enable IPv6 in Network configuration.

Method 1: Using the AI Life app

  1. Connect your phone to your router's Wi-Fi, open the AI Life app on your phone.
  2. On the AI Life app, touch the corresponding router to access the router management screen.
  3. Go to Show more > Network Settings > IPv6 (or go to Network > Network Settings > IPv6 directly).

  4. Touch the IPv6 switch to enable or disable the feature.

Method 2: Using the web-based management page

  1. Connect your phone or computer to the router's Wi-Fi (or to the router's any port using an Ethernet cable). In the address box of a browser, enter the default IP address to log in to the web-based management page of the router. (For the default IP address, see the nameplate on the bottom of the router.)
  2. Go to More Functions > Network Settings > IPv6.
  3. Click the IPv6 switch to enable or disable the feature.

If your router does not support IPv6, update it to the latest version. Currently, IPv6 is only available on the router being configured, but not available on cascaded routers.

After enabling the IPv6 function of the router, you can go to More Functions > About Router to check whether there is an IPv6 address delivered by the local carrier. If a long time has passed and the IPv6 address cannot be obtained, contact the local carrier.
