DNS Error Popup Issues (Round 2)
Using the NETGEAR Orbi RBK852 AX6000 mesh router, since purchased, with various firmware versions (no other routers I've used in the past have this problem) Now currently on Firmware Version v4....
Possible fix:
NAT Filtering > SIP ALG
NAT Filtering is set to Secure and has a tick box to disable SIP ALG upon it checked by default. Unticking that and enabling SIP ALG appears to of improve it's performance, creating a snapper response to device calls and may have of resolved my DNS issue too.
Will mark this as resolved, once fully tested and confirmed.

So I've figured out it's from the app called SpyBot by Safer-Networking. After using it's Immunization tool to block out advertising trackers, etc. It sets them all to point to the IP Address 0.0.0.0

Is this something I can fix on my end, because I just find it annoying and it appears to slightly slow it down as well? Otherwise is it an issue with the way the Orbi router handles the IP Address 0.0.0.0?
When entries in the computer hosts file (I am not aware that Orbi routers maintain a hosts file) point to 0.0.0.0, that means "don't go there".
It is the computer making this decision, not the router. Open a command window on the computer and attempt to ping 0.0.0.0. It will fail.
