For that model, we have figured a configuration that would not advertise an IPv6 DNS server address.

> Try setting _DHCPv6 Server_ to _Off_, and correspondingly for your _RA Service_, setting the _M_ and _O_ flags to _Off_ (indicating that "Managed address configuration" ( Stateful DHCPv6) and "Other configuration" (Stateless DHCPv6) isn't available in your network).

You should also switch _DNS Delegate Type_ to _Manual_ and not set any DNS servers.
