IPv6 Address Assignment of Devices

Firewall Gold Plus, in router mode, using DHCP, installed.

After setup, it has scanned a device (an IP camera) and assigned it a IPv6 address, instead of an IPv4 address as it did for all my other devices. How can I either change this IPv6 address to a IPv4 address, or prevent Firewalla from assigning IPv6 addresses to devices, so that I can detach/reattach it for DHCP reassignment? (I need a IPv4 address to be able to directly access the camera's properties from a browser on the LAN.) Thank you!

  Make sure DHCPv4 server is enabled for LAN network. Power cycle your local devices if you haven't.

  Sometimes, IOT devices store caches, and it won't accept IP from a new subnet. It is worth setting the Gold Plus LAN network the same as your old subnet.
