Add ipv6.disable=1 to /flash/cmdline.txt.

Thanks for your reply!
I was setting this value:
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
And it was resetting back to 0 after every restart, driving me insane!
Will try when I get home from work.

You could do that too and put it into /storage/.config/sysctl.d/ipv6.conf to have it set each boot.

Sorry, confused. What is the command I need to permanently disable IPV6 on each boot. (and to which file)
Thank you.

Run this command from ssh:
Codeecho "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1" >/storage/.config/sysctl.d/ipv6.conf -

One more question.... shouldn't disabling IPv6 on my wifi SSID settings also suffice?
IPv6 is currently off there, but at random times, whenever I check my public IP address, sometimes it shows me my IPv4 address and other times it shows my IPv6 address. ?
