IPv6 is enabled, addresses assigned.
I just tested wit an old D-Link router, there it works immediately.
What mode is your modem working in? Router or Modem only mode?
Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.
Thanks for the reply Furrye38.
I can't bridge my modem but set up a DMZ. This is not working, need to figure out why.
Option 3 I don't want to do, why buy an expensive router...
I am curious why it work when I refresh my DNS and why it works on the D-link router?
I would presume the double NAT condition is playing a role in this. Once you can get DMZ working on the host router, hoping this would solve it. Something I haven't seen with my R7800.
