Disable IPv6

I'm trying to disable IPv6. However, the C3700-100NAS doesn't seem to have that function?

I thought there would be, but sadly no.

Nothing is seen using a dfiferent browser? IE11, or Firefox? 

 

If not, not sure if it can be then. Something to contact NG support about and see. IF you have any devices that are using IPv6 or getting IPv6 from the modem, just disable this on these devices.

    Its because its set by the ISP. 

    Its built into the firmware on these combo devices for IPV6 to be enabled. 

    there's not a disable option unless the ISP requests that firmware option. Most don't.

    Even when you don't buy it from the ISP, the isp is the one who updates/supplies firmware for modems and modem/router devices that connect to their network.
