Traffic Meter does not fix DNS issue
Even after downgrading the firmware from 2.7.2.104 back to 2.6.1.40 with trafic meter disabled, I still experience disruptions of service. The router continues to lose its DNS settings. I have also p...
The evidence is two fold:
1.) When I have this issue I can plug directly into the back of my cable modem and connect to the internet just fine.
2.) When conecting to the router via Admin the public ip address is displyed, however the entry's for DNS are blank leading me to beleive this is the same DNS query issue.
3.) With traffice meter off and daylight savings checked the issue persists. I now have both trffic meter disabled, (which it has always been) and daylight savings unchecked hoping this brings back some semblace of stablity.
Is there a patch, fix to this issue aside from disabling things?
Thanks
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What browser are you using?
Had a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
You might try enabling IPv6 DNS 6to4 and configure a IPv6 DNS to see if this helps for what your seeing.
I re-enabled TM (no limit) and DST and have not seen this problem. I did not have TM enabled before as well thus I had not seen any kind of problems related to DNS issue throughout FW versions.
I did go through the factory reset part to no avail. The problem started happening after I upgraded the frmware to version 2.7.2.104. After days and days of up and down, having to rset the router multiple times I downgraded back to version 2.6.1.40. I will say the problem has abated a bit to where I am seeing a disruption of service once ecery 24 hours which I have seen others complain about as well on the forums. Im am pretty certain this is a NetGear related issues, as I have also plugged back in my LinkSys Velop, (replaced the aformetioned wth the NetGear Orbi, better coverage) and let it rn for 2-days withut seeing a single failure, disruption of service. Ging back to the Orbi, within 24 -hours I had another failure. Right now I have both the traffice meter, daylights savings disbled. I am still running on 2.6.1.40.
Thanks for the info.

Might ask the forum admin for the beta they offered and try that.
