Excellent and congrats.
Have you tested the IPv6 performance through the new router?
You might also want to run the tcp/ip analyzer from speedguide again.
Well, I ran the IPv6 test and it failed just like before, saying no IPv6 address detected. But then it says at the bottom my DNS server (from the provider, Xfinity) appears to have IPv6 access. In the properties tab, both v4 and v6 are selected and obtain DNS automatically. But if Xfinity has access why would I need to switch to "use the following address" and type in a non-xfinity address from the list?
Here is the TCP Analyzer summary:

Have you looked at the router configuration for IPv6?
It concerns several netgear routers including yours:

Good to see you've got your IPv6 working
Have you tried the DNS Benchmark app with your new router?
