Linux Mint IPv6 not working

All of a sudden my IPv6 wifi isn't connecting.  I change the IPv6 to automatic, automatic dhcp, automatic address only, manual config setting default routes, etc - nothing helps.  At least 1 hr just messing with the settings.  Each time I disconnect wifi  / disable re-enable networking and try again.  No joy each time.

Finally the solution was old school trouble shooting.  Completely delete the wifi connection and re-connect by selecting the wifi network and just typing in the password.  After this is works fine. 

$ping 2606:4700:4700::64
