@user4879 Switching your xbox to only use IP6 will not change the issue over shortage of IP4 addresses.  

Your Sky hub uses both and Sky assign a public IP4 address as well as an IP6 address. You will rapidly hit issues if it didn't support IP4 as many sites are not using IP6 as yet.

@user4879 Why do you want to stop using IP4 as normal it is best to use both - which Sky hubs support by default. See https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/hardware-network/connect-network/ipv6-on-xbox-one
