Basically, you change the enable IPv6 support setting to enabled.
It runs in "dual stack" mode. Basically, you use IPv4 when needed and IPv6 when it's available.
Here is Verizon's description: http://www.verizon.com/Support/Residential/Internet/HighSpeed/General+Support/Top+Questions/QuestionsOne/ATLAS8742.htm

You won't really get much of an improvement in speed because IPv4 doesn't have that much overhead. Especially on a home network.

but would it work for my xbox one becuase they say xbox one would work best on it and what should i select from the dropdown boxes and stuff on the screen

xbox may say that but legally it could be a 1% improvement and then still claim that. In my experiance ipv6 causes more issues then ipv4 but it still works fine if you have to. I personally prefer ipv4

The Xbox most likely is a dual stack device. Basically it works on both IPv4 and IPv6. You might be able to disable IPv4 on the Xbox end, but there's no guarantee that the WAN connection is going to be through IPv6. That actually is based on the WAN backbone in your area. Here is an article that explains this better than I can.

Enable IPv6 on your device and hope that Verizon or whom ever your ISP is supports IPv6 in your area.
