IPV6 Failure

Hello
i require assiantce
So i used a netgear nighthawk modem for my gaming

but i noticed that it always bottlenecks the actual intended network 
When i turn it on its crazy good and overtime the gains just diminish
i recently switch to IPV6 on the modem and i was connecting it to my laptop via tethering
It worked for like 1 whole day
Today i had to go out so i ofc removed the tether and and took it with me

Now it wont work anymore with only using IPV6
So before it was set to either ipv4 or ipv4/ipv6

But i set it to ipv6 only and it was working way better more efficiently
but now a day later
and im getting
"no network" when i connect it to my pc
Idk what the issue is
and im tired of wasting money and not getting my network worth out of it
pls someone help
>.<

Or if thats not possible a way to stop this **bleep**ing network bottlenecking
im supposed to have 60more mbps than what i have normally it hurts

    What actual device do you have? 

    What model number is it? 

    what speeds do you pay for?

    What are you gaming on? 

    do you have a screensnip of the cable connections page and event logs?

    If that is a WiFi connection, it will never deliver what you "have normally", whatever that means. It is how WiFi works.

     

    But as plemans says, we know nothing about your network. Indeed, it isn't at all easy to follow what you are saying.
