IP mode allows the user to gain access to the IPv6 functionality of the router or to remain with only IPv4 usage. The option IPv4 and IPv6 Dual-Stack will allow the user to gain access to the IPv6 functionality while retaining all IPv4 functionality. The IPv4-only mode allows the user only basic IPv4 functionality. The Internet is gradually moving towards IPv6 due to a lack of IP addresses under the current IPv4 mode.
