It's a cloud update so you don't need to do anything but give the router a reboot just to ensure it downloads the latest cloud

See, this is what both scares and angers me - that NG can remotely effect my router without my knowledge or consent.
I mean yeah it's good IF they're updating urgent security issues I guess, but it's NOT good if/when they fail and cause disruptions in my internet access WITHOUT even notifying me!

Has anybody attempted this “update” yet? And if so, has it resolved the DNS problem?

I just updated to firmware XR1000V2 1.1.0.22_2.1.34 and I had the time out issue not even 15 minutes later.
Problem still exists, and it definitely only happens when using the NetGear XR1000.
