Does anyone know how to stop my LAN devices getting an IPv6 address with the Huawei DN8245X6-10 router provided by One?

I've tried setting the IP acquisition mode to "None" under Advanced -> WAN, rebooted the router and then ran an ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew but that didn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Why?

Rather than disabling, what's the primary issue at hand?

I have a service I need to use that does like IPv6.

Disable IPv6 on the computer.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

IPv6 can't be disabled directly on the device which is accessing the service. It's not a Windows workstation.

I need to disable IPv6 at the router level.

What service? You shouldn’t need to ever disable IPv6.

How are you checking IPv6 is still on? Even after setting to None on the router it won't affect whether the device still has IPv6 enabled on its LAN/WLAN interface just no end-to-end Internet connectivity.

Those are just IPv6 settings. You need to edit your WAN config and set protocol type to IPv4 only.

Just uncheck these the device will still have a link local address though.

Mine is disabled as this router is been used only as a ap.
I have only found one service that doesn't work correctly on ipv6 and that is because they were putting a ipv6 wrapper on someone else's service.

I've already tried that, but it didn't seem to work.

The device I need to to be NOT using IPv6 is an Android device and I can't forcibly turn off the protocol on it. Instead I need to ensure it doesn't get an IPv6 address from the router.

If the settings I showed are off and you have powered off the device and powered it back on and also no other router on the network it won't have a ipv6 address.
I am thinking you have a different issue.
