RBR50 DNS Not responding in the last 2 days

Its' 2022, I'm on V2.7.3.22, and have exactly the same behaviour. ORBI RBR50 DNS Server temporarily stops working, and all my devices start reporting they're "Connected without Internet". When I manually configure DNS to be 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 on my machines, everything starts working perfectly.
I had Traffic Meter enabled, and of course I'm disabling it right away, but how long do your Engineers going to keep working on this? It's been over a year since this was posted! 😄

It is not always a good idea to 'continue' a discussion that is over a year old. The discussion in March, 2021 was about a programming error in the Traffic Meter feature that was triggered by Daylight Saving Time. By April, 2021, the condition disappeared and it was corrected in a firmware release in summer of 2021. It did not reoccur when Daylight Saving Time went into effect this year (2022), so the engineers did in fact "fix it".
Whatever is happening to your RBR50 system now has some other cause.
Have you tried setting the router to use Google DNS? (on the web administration, Internet menu)?
