DNS Probe finished nxdomain & missing router logs
I have a RBK853 — Orbi WiFi 6 System AX6000 model, which is working fine, but has a couple of bugs? 1 router + 2 satellites with currently version 3.2.16.22 firmware on each. The first issue:...
Work around fix for now.
Under your router admin > advanced > advanced > IPv6
I changed the Internet Connection Type from "Disabled" to "6to4Tunnel", the rest I just left as automatic, applied and also rebooted the PC.
It's the Model RBK853 - Orbi WiFi 6 System AX6000, which showed Firmware version 3.2.16.22 as the latest, when checking under the auto-update of the router login.
Odd how it's listed for RBK852 but not the RBK853. I think I will manually update to Firmware Version v3.2.17.12 anyways in case they just missed updating that and suggests there is a security fix too. Thanks, seems to work fine upon the router and both satellites so far!
Will update later if resolved these issue or not.
What is the mfr and model# if your ISP Modem or ONT?
Keep us posted...

It's a Chorus Model Type 200 Optical Network Terminal fiber connection connected via ethernet to the Orbi RBK853. It has a VLAN / Bridge setup with ID 10, if that matters as well?
The firmware to version 3.2.17.12 was successful and runs fine, but doesn't appear to of resolved the issues. The DNS Probe finished nxdomain is not appearing as much as it did. It's very rare or gone away now? Hard to find a website which does it.
So are these bugs that has been around for quite a while and affects a bunch with this certain mesh router, but no one has any clue how to resolve it?
Is there any information you might need to help?

I was originally using CloudFlare DNS:
1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1
I assumed it was the fastest DNS available and they worked fine with previous routers, however came across this DNS Performance Tester App (as mentioned in another post):
GRC's | DNS Nameserver Performance Benchmark
After a full scan of all DNS servers, it listed CloudFlare DNS as the 6th faster for me. My ISP DNS servers was considered the fastest. I'm guessing it had to do with my location and the distance delay. So updated the DNS to them.
This might of resolved the "DNS Probe finished nxdomain" issue, as it hasn't appeared so far since.
The problem with this Orbi Mesh Router might only occur for those with delayed DNS and/or a certain DNS? If anyone else has the same problem, does changing the DNS also help them?
