You won't typically find much in a consumer grade router because IPv6 does not utilize a dhcp server like you are used to. Addresses are stateless and are comprised of part of it coming from your ISP and the other part being generated by the device itself. And IPv6 was not designed because homes need more than 253 devices. It was designed because the world ran out of IPv4. In the new design they decided to do away with NAT and give every device a public routable address.

thx but I don’t even know what that is
That's the admin interface on your FIOS-G1100. Usually found at IP address 192.168.1.1.
I don't recommend you make any changes.
[Edit]
Here's a link to the manual for you router which has detail: https://www.verizon.com/about/sites/default/files/fios-qgr-userguide140925.pdf
I don’t mess around too much, but I’m considering getting those wiz wifi bulbs, is it hard to find them and stop them from connecting to the net via the router?
Easy if you can follow some directions. I haven't used home routers in so long tho I really don't know what their capabilities are
That is exactly the point I was trying to make in my earlier post. Most homes use consumer grade routers that typically use DHCP to assign IP addresses using IPV4 to devices on the local area network, even though specific IP addresses can be reserved for specific clients like the Hubitat Elevation hub.
I do have IPV6 configured on my router through the buried settings. I do have a IPV6 IP address assigned to my gateway by my ISP. However, I cannot find any way to use IPV6 addresses for devices on my LAN.
It's likely happening without you being aware of it. IPv6 generally isn't assigned in a manner you are used to with IPv4 (local assignment combined with NAT). As @waffles suggested earlier, check the IP configuration on your various systems. If you have a Unix based system, try ifconfig at a command prompt.
The vast majority of IPv6 is handled using fully dynamic and automatic processes. The network segment used for your local network (a /64) is delegated by upstream and automatically controlled by your router and the other systems in your network.
There are several options for how to run IPv6 in a local network (stateless vs stateful, managed vs unmanaged), and selection of which method requires a good knowledge of IPv6. To give you an idea, this is a list of options from a popular open source firewall distribution:
- Router Only - Will advertise this router.
- Unmanaged - Will advertise this router with stateless autoconfig.
- Managed - Will advertise this router with all configuration through a DHCPv6 server.
- Assisted - Will advertise this router with configuration through a DHCPv6 server and/or stateless autoconfig.
- Stateless DHCP - Will advertise this router with stateless autoconfig and other configuration information available via DHCPv6.
To make things easier for the average consumer, most routers simply default to a choose a stateless autoconfig, and bury the more advanced configuration options.

I have a Netgear Nighthawk RAX75 router which is a pretty decent consumer level WiFi6 router. There may be some IPV6 configurations that can be accessed using the command line, but the GUI has no way to reference them.
I don’t have one, but taking a quick look at the manual I think you’ll find the IPv6 config in the GUI in ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > IPv6. Documentation in the manual begins on page 30. Looks like it defaults to automatic detection and stateless configuration. Congrats, you are IPv6 enabled.
