DOS ATTACK and DNS Failure Internet Loss
I recently purchased the XR500 Router and overall everything is running good. However over the past few days i've noticed that the internet has been cutting out once in a while for minutes at a time....
I got mine through Amazon and they have great customer service so I'm not worried about returns as long as I'm within the 30 days. Although I do have high hopes for this router especially with the OS.But I'll admit, I've never had great experience with Netgear in the past and only wanted to give it another chance due to the OS.The Orbi was great for 6 months then firmware updates happened and all hell broke loose.
At this point I don't even know where to go from here. I basically just want coverage that the Orbi (1 satellite) gave under a unified SSID. Ive gone through so many options I feel like I'm never going to get the most reliable setup.
Any other suggestions as far as router options I'm open to while I still try this out. I'm still somewhat hopeful though.

Any update from the firmware insomniak?
Running the provided firmware i'm still running into the same issue. Rebooted the router many times and still the same.
Intermittent internet loss through wired and Wifi connections. Delay in loading pages and would get the typical DNS Error on browsers.
I'm going to try a factory reset tonight to see if that changes anything.
- It could be something on the ISP side causing issues.
