You may have to check with your ISP about setting up IPv6. You could always try Auto Detect and see if the router can figure it out by itself.

Your settings are not displaying properly.
Make sure there is only one router in your network. If your ISP box is also a router, then put it into bridge mode or convert your R8000 into an Access Point.
Then perform the following steps on whatever device is acting as the router.
- If available, set NAT filtering to Open. On Netgear, this is in WAN Setup. An ISP box may not necessarily have this setting or it may be called something different.
- Enable UPnP
- Reserve an IP address for your console. On Netgear, this is in LAN Setup. If the ISP box can't do this, then configure a static IP address on your console. Make sure it's outside of the range of IP addresses managed by your DHCP server. Otherwise, you run the risk of duplicate IP addresses. Change the range, if necessary to free up an IP address.
Reboot the console.
