How to switch back to IPv4?

So while I'm glad to notice that Fizz is finally deploying IPv6 for greater security, my work is in part relying on an app that doesn't currently support it. Therefore I need to switch back to IPv4, is there any way to do that with the router or something?

I'm under macOS Sequoia.

I'm shocked that Fizz did the change without any warning/announcement.

    Hi, Normally the current modem is set to work in Dual mode (IPv4 + IPv6), but you can select only IPv4 if you want, you just have to activate it from the interface of your modem.
    Open a browser. In the address bar of the web browser, enter 192.168.0.1

    Log in with the following login information:

    Username: cusadmin

    Password: (enter the password you chose for your Wi-Fi network when you first set up your modem)
    Go to the next section: Gateway Function

    I didn't try the solution above, as I'm not using the provided modem as a router (bridge mode)
    (can't access the 192.168.0.1 as the function is deactivated)

    Found a solution nerveless
    For macOS users, you can go into the network settings and set IPv6 to "Link-Local Only"

    That's a good news! Its pretty nice we never have too much security. A 2FA would also be nice!
