Might give newer FW a try:
Load it up, factory reset and set up from scratch. I might give the Ipv6 setting a try with out the router connected to the ISP modem. See if the setting will persist after enabling it using FireFox browser. If it does, then connect the router to the ISP modem.

Thanks for the info. I will pause this attempt to do a factory reset for a few days. My wife is working from home the next two days and will need the internet and with my luck I will end up breaking something. Been there , done that before.
I understand there is a way to back up settings before factory resetting ? I will have to look in that. I'm sure I can back it up and as long as there is instructions to restore, I'll be all set.
I will reply in a few days with my results.
Thanks

If that doesn't work try the DHCP option instead
