Update Possible Solution!
So far Rick6922 has come with the only solution. Unfortunetlly Netgear themselves do not have a solution and the router is overall broken with the any of the newer firmware updates. Only the original firmware works unless they come out with an update.
So far the only solution is to use the SPF+ slot by purchasing the 10Gtek to convert the slot into an ethernet port.
With this you can have do anything you want in the router with no problems. I've been using it for a week now and so far no issues.
Unfortnetlly it's $100 extra for the part, where honestly netgear needs to fix because a $500 router should work perfectly out of the box with all updates. I understand some of the firmwares could have glitches but it's astonishing that all the firmwares updates have simply made the router worse.
Here is the amazon link of the adapter i purchased. I will update yall if anything changes or it stops working etc. This is, so far, the only semi solution if you want to use the latest firmware. (Your Internet Modem plugs into this and you need to reset router, update router's firmware, then setup router with the 10G port)

Update:
So far the newest firmware+GTek10G worked well at first.
It works well with the IPv6 now with Xbox. Now having another major issue with the new firmware.
I have to constantly restart the router daily. It keeps loosing internet connection until I restart it. It's quite frustrating. (Can Netgear please fix these issues?, Again a $500 router that doesn't work better than a $80 router)

I would submit a support ticket to let NG know what your seeing with the new FW.
- Netduma-FraserMar 26, 2019NetDuma PartnerI would actually recommend going back to the .8 firmware and see if this issue exists there.
- IJayJayIMar 26, 2019ApprenticeThanks I'll give it a try, from the start I always had two issues.
1:) Xbox connection dropping when IPv6 enabled. (GTek10G fixed that.
2:) all firmwares above the first one dropped internet for all devices once a day where I had to reset the router daily.
Original firmware was the only working one with GTek10G.
Now with newest version I only have to restart daily now. I'll test out each firmware for a week to see if it is consistent and will update yall after my trials.
