What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
I run VPN and Teams thru my RBR50 in router and have not seen any DNS issues. I run VPN/Teams all day while at work. My experiences.

What I got was a much lighter wallet and years of network connectivity issues, MS Teams unstable, unstable loading of browsers, and what appeared to be "random" log-in issues with company VPN. These issues were identified as DNS errors. Another issue that I had with Orbi was the inability of the router to balance the loads on its ethernet ports. I was only able to get 1/2 the speed that my ISP actually provided me. This was the last straw. I am very happy to say that for me these DNS and port load balance issues have ALL BEEN RESOLVED by installing a tplink TL-R605 router between my ISP modem and the Orbi router. In my setup the Orbi router only functions as a wifi device for my home. My critical computers are connected to the TP-link router. All I can say is NetGear engineers have an issue with the Orbi router they need to fix.
