      @Neoveo it turns out that my ISP does not currently support IPv6.

        That's strange.
        But make live simpler, for now.
        The perfect settings :

        Under System > Routing > Gateways delete the IPv6 gateway, and select :

        9ab23979-971e-4eea-ad69-cc70c9c24d3e-image.png

        Save, Apply and done.

        You could use an alternative : Configuring IPv6 Through A Tunnel Broker Service, I've been using their IPv6 services ( free ! ) for years. Their IPv6 is, IMHO, even today far better as what most ISP offer.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          @Gertjan So what is the downside if I didn't set the Default gateway IPv6 to none?

          I change it to none a few minutes ago but DHCP6 Gateway is still showing up as Pending and Unknown.

            You have the DHCPv6 process running continually trying to get an IPv6 address on the WAN. You likely won't notice but at the very least it spams the logs with pointless errors hiding potentially useful info.

              Delete the now pointless gateway.
