DNS errors RBK753
I have occasional DNS errors and reloading the page resolves it. Here is the link for details from other people who had same issue but no resolution was provided. Any ideas? https://community.net...

I am having the same issue and spent tons of time with support with no luck.
Before the newer version a support guy acknowledged it is a firmware issue and asked me to change ORBI to AP mode and the issue went away. Definitely with AP mode lots of functionality won’t be available including armor (armor is free for a year with Costco version). The guy promised that the issue will be solved after the firmware upgrade of Mid August.
I reverted back the AP mode to router mode and the issue is worst then before, tried all what you guys mentioned and nothing worked except AP mode. Spent again lots of time on the phone with support and no luck at all, and they never acknowledged after the latest firmware that this is a know issue.
Not sure what else can be done.

NG firmeware version is V3.2.16.6_1.4.4
ISP is AT&T with 1 Gbps connection
Manufacturer ARRIS
Model Number BGW210-700ONT Alcatel-Lucent G-010G-A
- Ace321Sep 02, 2020ApprenticeCorrect on firmware. My setup is
ISP: Comcast
Modem: Arris T25
Router: Orbi 753S- campolo313Sep 02, 2020Apprentice
One difference I noted is the Modem, both Ace321 and eliea have Arris Modems, where I have Netgear CM1000. I wonder if that could be impacting it.

Your Arris modem has a router and built in router already. This can cause some problems.
This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
https://kb.netgear.com/30187/How-to-fix-issues-with-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopATT Modems:

@FURRYe38 My ARRIS T25 does not have NAT issue and still see that issue.
@Mikey94025 I agree with you. My problem is exactly what you described. However, error is bit more frequent. Usually it is just annoyance. Some sites where Single sign is involved, will not load and I have to close the tab and try again.
