How to disable IpV6 Settings on EE Smart Hub

Finfanero — Thu, 17 Jul 2025 14:54:13 GMT

Good Afternoon,

I need to disable IpV6 Settings on my Smart Hub, there is NO option to disable - Will I need to purchase a after market HUB to do this ?

Hi, I have been asked to by my workplace. Thank you

I just need to know how to do it or if I need to buy a personal router.

@Finfanero Why don't you just have the IT Team turn it off on the Equipment they gave you!

@Finfanero Just do not see that, why would your IT want to cripple your network for there goal! Does your IT Dept control what you do! Is it the older white EE Smarthub that you have! All the others below show the latest in the link!

Doesn't make sense! Why should your employer restrict your use, & that of your family, of your home network nor have any right to? Anyway if you are accessing their site from it you'd surely be using a VPN.

"Try under Advanced > IPv6 > Config > Allocation mode to OFF"

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread. I too am trying to turn off IPv6.

But I'm not seeing an 'OFF' value under allocation mode. There's only 'Stateful', 'Stateless' or Both.

Sorry, @wilsoncpw , it's all been changed since last year. Perhaps someone keeping their router up-to-date may chip in.
