Archer AX55 Pro : How to disable IPv6 over LAN

Hi!
Is there any way to disable IPv6 over LAN?
I'm struggling with Starlink and the cable tv provider and need to disable it. Already I've disabled at the wan config.
thanks!

Hi@TheBarn,
The LAN IPv6 IP cannot obtain the network. The local link address generation is the Box's own behavior and has nothing to do with the router, so there are no other settings on the router that can be modified.
You may need to contact the TV Box's support to confirm whether you can modify the settings on the Box or reset the Box.

Hi@TheBarn,
For your need, you should turn off IPv6 on the client devices.

@Joseph-TP hi.
unfortunately I can't disable IPv6 on devices such the tv cable operator hub, that's why I need to disable it from the router.

Hi @TheBarn,
Because this is the reply I got after consulting the engineer. And there is no off button for LAN IPv6 on the router.
Have you tried resetting the TV cable operator hub?

Hi @Joseph-TP!
is not the tv, is the tv box, an android device provided by the cable operator to access all its content, and yes it's obtaining an ipv6 ip and there's no way to disable it or force ipv4

Hi @Joseph-TP,
I understand what you say, but it seems that I didn't explain myself, what I need and want to do is disable the ipv6 feature for every device on my network, not only the tv box. My old wdr3600 can do that, so I don't understand why my new router hasn't this feature. Is there any way to make a feature request?

Hi @TheBarn,
Do you mean that if WDR3600 does not enable IPv6, the client will not obtain an IPv6 address? That is to say, the WDR3600 you mentioned has the function of turning off client IPv6.
If possible, please record the operation process as a video and send it to email support.forum@tp-link.com, attaching [Forum ID 771590 ] and details, and we will have a dedicated person to assist in analysis and follow-up.
