pretty much as as the title says just wondering if my I.P. just doesn't have IPv6 or if there's a problem with my settings some where

If you are using the 2.4 ghz band, you will have LOTS of other non wifi devices causing interference. On the plus side less and less cordless phones operate at 2.4ghz since dect6 runs on 1.9 and less and less people even use landline. Things like microwave ovens still interfere with 2.4ghz devices(this has nothing to do with them leaking or anything[As I have seen people claim many times], they just also operate in they frequency range.).

In no way will changing the IP type or even the protocol used fix packets that are getting dropped. This would also include issues on your isp's end or even beyond that(that can happen).

The best way to avoid signal issues is still with a wired connection. Next best is to make sure your hardware can...
It looks like you are using IPV4 on your network.

This is pretty standard. V6 just allows MANY more numbers.

Think of it this way, back when the internet started we never realized that everyone would have a portable computer(cell phone) on top of countless other connected devices. This just paves the way for many more ip addresses, but should not effect your internal network in any way.

IPv6 has some other advantages, but I do not think it will be an issue for you.

Your ISP has to be able to support IPV6. You just can't "start using it" because you have it enabled on your hardware. As far as speed difference between IPV4, it will be so little that I doubt you would even be able to tell the difference. IPV6 is basically just the ability to add more IP address to the world.

thought it would make a difference, thought maybe it was the cause of my 7000 ping spikes every 5 minutes

I see you're connected to wifi. Maybe change the channel on your router to another. Somone/something may be interfering with your signal. You can get wifi analyzer apps on your phone that can show what channels others around your general are using most.

The best way to avoid signal issues is still with a wired connection. Next best is to make sure your hardware can and does use the 5ghz band since it is less crowded

Having many users on the same network can also cause similar issues so I would check to make sure other systems are not hogging you internet.
