Difference between ipv6 and wireless?
Wireless is a wireless broadcast standard.
IPv6 and IPv4 are the protocol the lets machines communicate with each other. Like going from computer--->router---->modem----->isp----->website----->etc.
I linked to the wikipedia listing so you can learn more about ipv6 if interested.

Re: R7000 wifi 6
The R7000 is an old router and certainly doesn't support WiFi 6. Only the new RAX models do

Your screen print was a bit blury. looks like you highlighted of the product data sheet. if i pull that up, its highlighing IPv6.
Thats not a wifi standard. Its a communication protocol.
