Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hi, i'm new of openwrt and i' m trying really hard to connect to my ISP (Tim Italia) with my fritboz 7530 openwrt 23.05.0
I install the firmware as described here, then i connect the cable to the (grey) dsl port.
After a reboot i see on the main page

Ok, as i read here and here i understand that i have to edit the /etc/config /network file
But how?
Neither

config interface 'wan'
    option ifname 'eth0.835'
    option proto 'pppoe'
    option username '[replace with your phone number]'
    option password 'timadsl'
    option ipv6 'auto'

nor

config device
	option type '8021q'
	option ifname 'wan'
	option vid '835'
	option name 'eth0.835'

are working. My unmodified file

config interface 'loopback'
	option device 'lo'
	option proto 'static'
	option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
	option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config globals 'globals'
	option ula_prefix 'fd51:0dxxxxxxxxxx'

config atm-bridge 'atm'
	option vpi '1'
	option vci '32'
	option encaps 'llc'
	option payload 'bridged'
	option nameprefix 'dsl'

config dsl 'dsl'
	option annex 'j'
	option tone 'b'
	option ds_snr_offset '0'

config device
	option name 'br-lan'
	option type 'bridge'
	list ports 'lan1'
	list ports 'lan2'
	list ports 'lan3'
	list ports 'lan4'

config interface 'lan'
	option device 'br-lan'
	option proto 'static'
	option ipaddr '192.168.63.1'
	option netmask '255.255.255.0'
	option ip6assign '60'

config device
	option name 'dsl0'
	option macaddr '44:4E:6D:xx:xx:xx'

config interface 'wan'
	option device 'dsl0'
	option proto 'pppoe'
	option username 'username'
	option password 'password'
	option ipv6 '1'

config interface 'wan6'
	option device '@wan'
	option proto 'dhcpv6'

Any help would be greatly appreciated

	option proto 'pppoe'
	option peerdns '0'
	option username '0332xxxxxx'
	option password 'timadsl'
    option ipv6 '0'

is related to ipv6? Can i disable?

That comes from wan6 that likely needs to be relocated to pppoe-wan as backing device, or rather disabled if no ip6 support is expected.
