R8000 set up connection to DCHP

My internet service provider has changed its internet connection type from PPPoE to DHCP. I went through all the steps with their tech support but my router isn’t connecting to the wifi anymore.

On routerlogin.com in the advanced set up “IPv6” tab, I have the internet connection type set to DHCP and the IP address assignment to auto config.

In the administration “router status” tab it shows that there is an issue with my internet port. When I click through to the internet setup, my options for internet service provider are PPTP, PPPoE, and L2TP (no option for DHCP).

Any ideas on what I am missing?
