I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue! My house is going crazy with all of the cannot connect to the internet errors on my Google home devices.

Starting 3/14, I sporadically get DNS lookup errors.
I've tried setting DNS servers to a) Get Automatically from ISP b) 75.75.75.75/75.75.76.76 and c) 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4
same result. When the error happens, I cannot resolve new sites, but things like Netflix continue to stream fine.
On the router, if I go into Internet Setup and click the Test button, the light ring on the router goes blinking white, then all is fine for a while.
On 3/15, the issue occurred about 5 times during the day and 3 during the evening.
I also tried power cycling the modem and router, no luck.
We live in an apartment building, both my wife and I working from home. We haven't moved or disconnected anything in months.
Any ideas?
Thanks
