There have been dozens of posts about Orbi systems losing the ability to resolve Domain Names, which create the appearance of "No Internet". Netgear engineers communicated that there is a coding problem in the Traffic Meter feature in which the automatic adjustment for Daylight Saving Time cases the DNS process to fail. Restarting the router is a temporary fix (not "new setup") and the permanent fix is to not enable Traffic Meter.
Is it really necessary to perform a complete setup? (Just restarting does nothing?)
