Thanks for replying.
I'm using the latest firmware, i.e., V1.2.13.100_2.0.54. My ISP is Google Fiber. Their fiber jack is on the wall, I don't know it's model number. It works OK.
I'm using a Cat6 cable. Google says I can get away with Cat 5E. It's on the WAN port. connected directly to the fiber jack. They promise 1000-Mbps up and down. When check with LAN I consistently get 945-Mbps up/down, so they deliver.
Router settings for IPV6 are set to auto-config. In my experience no other setting works. I have Cloudflare's DNS servers on the router for both IPV4 and IPV6. They work great and are very fast.
When IPV6 disappears in it's all my devices. So far it's been 48 hours since my last reboot and IPV6 is still there.
