I have been having problems with wifi on my Macbook Air 4,2 and I wanted to try turning off IPv6. However, when I go to network settings to do so, the option to turn it off is not there. I've included a screenshot to show you what I see when I go to network settings. I don't know why this option would have disappeared. Is there a program that could have disabled this?
Thanks,
Spencer

Yes you can turn it off...by a terminal command:
networksetup -setv6off "Wi-Fi"
networksetup -setv6off "Ethernet"
networksetup -setv6off "USB Ethernet"
networksetup -setv6off "Ethernet 1"
networksetup -setv6off "Ethernet 2"
You can't turn it off, but if you set it to link-local only, it will only pass traffic to and from the local network.
Thanks for the help! This solved my problem.
