Xr1000 V2 having DNS issues and unable to connect to websites
I just bought this router and i am having some series issues. I have updated to the latest firmware and did all the suggested things. Is anyone else having these issues and has anyone fixed it? I ha...
So six months on, this issue may have returned. Behaviour just as before - internet goes "missing" for a couple of minutes and then comes back. This started three or four days ago. Has there been another cloud update?
Firmware is xr1000v2 1.1.0.22_2.1.34
Does internet LED on top of the router turn RED or AMBER when this happens?
Possible ISP or DNS issue if this been working all these months then just started happening. Try different custom DNS.
Grab the logs when it next happens and we can take a look. How often is it happening?
I wonder if this could be similar to a bug with the xXR1000 V1 where with firmware 1.0.2.86_2.1.40, enabling the OpenVPN server causes random DNS issues, which leads devices like Android smartphones to falsely think that there is no internet connection.
Potentially, it shouldn't happen if there aren't any settings changed in the Settings section and DHCP isn't to blame, the logs would guide us in the right direction
