Currently the IPV6 is set to "disabled". I want to turn this on but not sure of the right option. The options given on drop down menu are: Auto detect, Auto Config, 6to4 Tunnel, 6rd, Pass Through, Fixed, DHCP, PPPoE and Orange France Which one should I choose please?

Try auto-detect. what modem/gateway is it connected to? https://kb.netgear.com/24006/How-do-I-set-up-an-IPv6-Internet-connection-on-my-Nighthawk-router

  Connected to Virgin Media. Planning to move to Sky FTTP ONT route. I have read that Virgin does not support IPV6

    Not much point in enabling it then.
    
    If my experience on BT's network is anything to go by it can bring your network to a grinding halt.

  Thank you! As per the instructions, have set it to Auto Detect. Will see how it works with Virgin. Sky should be ok.
