How to use MR600v2 as Switch with IPv6

How can I use MR600 as a switch and delegate my ISP's IPV6 to devices. I tried disabling DHCP and Wireless and I am able to connect to the internet using it's LAN ports, it's not delegating the IPV6 to devices neither I am able to setup DDNS on it as it says you are offline. Can someone help please ?
Thank you!

Hi, have you tried to set Archer MR600 into "wireless router" mode and set the IPV4 connection type as "Dynamic IP" and IPV6 as "Bridge"?

Thanks for the reply @David-TP. I couldn't see Bridge in IPV6 settings. Sorry not much of a networking person, but if you can direct me to a guide, I can follow through. Thank you!

Hi, thank you for the feedback.
Can I have a screenshot of your IPV6 configuration page, such as:
(Please make sure MR600 is in Wireless router mode, instead of the default 4G router mode)
By the way, as there is already an IPV6 ISP router that could assign IPV4& IPV6 addresses, would there be any specific reason that you wish to connect the device behind the MR600 to get an IPV6 address?
I'm asking because there hasn't been a firmware upgrade for MR600_V2 for a while, and if the current firmware doesn't support IPV6 bridge mode, we might need to check whether there is any other workaround.
Wait for your reply.
Best regards.

Thanks again @David-TP.
I guess there isn't any bridge mode in MR600. Here is the screenshot for your reference though. The reason I want to use it is that my ISP's fiber router is junk, it only has one Gigabit port. I had the MR600 lying around since I no longer use 4G, so I'm trying to repurpose it to solve the Gigabit limitation. Additionally, DDNS doesn't work on my ISP's router, which I need for configuring my ad-blocking DNS and I was using it earlier with MR600v2. The issue is only with IPV6, Internet works alright with IPV4 but WAN's IPV6 won't delegate.

Hi, I think the firmware of Archer MR600-V2 might be a little old and doesn't support "Bridge Mode".
May I know your internet service provider?
I saw that the IPV4 address on the Archer MR600 is a reserved IP address. Are you able to configure "IPv6 bridge mode" on the ISP router so that the Prefix Delegation assigned by the ISP could pass the first router and be received by the Archer MR600?
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
