Disable IPv6 - goldenorb/openwrt

Post by radec »

Hi All,
I see a lot of mentions of people doing IPv4 only or IPv6 only. How are people doing this in GoldenOrb/Openwrt?

I'm wanting to test turning off IPv6 but none of the IPv6 settings I see under Networking > Interfaces > EDIT (on each interface) seem to stick or actually doing any thing.

Thanks

Are you wanting to turn off the routers IPV6 NAT or the modems IPV6 connectivity to the cell network?

I guess mostly the modems IPV6 connectivity to the cell network, but really both.

I tried
Network > Interfaces > wwan(modem) > edit > selected 'IPv4' instead of 'IPv4/IPv6'

But it doesn't seem to do anything. Still get IPv6 on wwan. I tried updating to the latest goldenorb as well, but still no change.

Is there a different place to change the settings?

Set your APN to ipv4 only.. it's a setting under modem->connection profile. If needed, disable the modems ability to auto load apn's via at command.

For local, that's under network->interfaces->lan
And network-> dhcp i think.

Any particular reason to disable ipv6?

Honestly mostly for troubleshooting. I'm having a weird interment issue where webpages aren't loading. Refreshing, sometimes multiple times, fixes it. but it effects services to, like discord, xmpp, ect. because they keep losing connection. At first I thought it was a DNS issue, but it doesn;t appear to be.
My connection has been rock solid for months, before this started. I've got T-Mobile EBS.

I found the setting in Modem > Connection Profile. Thanks for that! I kept overlooking it.
