RE650 and ipv6 : how to turn off ipv6?
Connecting via Debian Linux 10. I'm only getting ipv6 addresses which don't want to work half the time. How can I disable ipv6, Brand new unit ac2600 dual band. Disabling ipv6 in my debian gnome wifi connections dialog makes connection impossible. When I first connect to the device to set it up I have an ipv4 address. Its only after configuring it and connecting it my internet router does it switch to ipv6 only
(added build number)
Edit: I updated to the latest firmware. I extended the IP 4 lease to maximum so I have an IP 4 link now in addition to IP 6 but it still wont find site like superuser.com or properly connect dropbox. Since I just bought it I'm a bit concerned they sent me a V1 box. Is there a huge difference in V2?
Edit #2 : So, it's down to Debian NOT requesting an IPv4 lease at connection.
There are two ways to fix this
(1) add a script in /etc/network/if-up.d to request a lease (dhclient $IFACE)
#!/bin/sh
# copy to /etc/network/if-up.d as root to get a new ip address when connecting to wifi
# edit wlp3s0 as required
case "$IFACE" in
lo)
# The loopback interface does not count.
# only run when some other interface comes up
exit 0
;;
wlp3s0)
dhclient wlp3s0

*)

esac
(2) configure a manual address (in my case 192.168.2.100, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.2.1) using NetworkManager
Now it works. Wholly unsatisfactory as my other TP-LINK extender works just fine with no manual IPv4 lease request required.
