R8000 — Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri Band WiFi Gigabit Router Drops internet

With all the people having issues dropping the internet from firmware update. Is Netgear working on a solution to this problem? What can be done to correct this issue?

I do have the latest update, but I don't understand how to select ipv6 enabled. I am uneducated when it comes to routers.

      Good luck, if it doesn't help, you can downgrade the firmware a version. It just seems like the latest had the issue. But again, a lot of people had luck with using ipv6. A few were able to do a factory reset and it worked fine.
