Could you enable it and set Auto Config and see if the router gets anything from the ISP modem?
BTW, Brand and model of your ISP modem or ONT?

Sure. I can try it. I have a Motorola MB8600. If I enable IPv6, will it reboot and kick me off my VPN? If so, I think I'd rather do it some other time since I'm still working.

It acquired both LAN And WAN IPv6 addresses. and this site shows a 10/10 rating
Is there any reason to keep it enabled? I don't know much about 4 vs. 6

Thats very nice. Would you mind keeping it enabled just to see if any appears or problems appear?

Checked my RAXE500. Not included in this FW update. Will wait I guess.

Sure I'll keep it on.. I was familiar with IPv6 before but assumed there was no benefit to me as a consumer. I just kind of figured eventually ISPs would start requiring it.. now I'm wondering if there might be some sort of actual benefit. I do run a Plex server off my desktop. Maybe I should look into it more.
