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.
I didn't need the Netgear Armor, as I already have a 3 year Kaspersky subscription. However, I will try the trial to test upon the Router (without the install of Bit Defender).
Instantly after enabling the Netgear Armor on the Orbi Router there was a noticable difference in webpage loading (any web-browser, I tried before and after with three different ones including Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Google Chrome). I notice some rare webpages don't break on first load like before as well (previously needing a refresh to correct), but rather load faster and more smoothly.
So far there has been no "DNS Probe finished nxdomain" issues, but will need to test for longer to ensure.
Clearly there's a linkage between Netgear Armor and the DNS lookups?

This was mentioned eariler on in some post threads regarding Ipv6. I have it enabled as well...I have noticed some DNS errors however not many.
Yeah, I read over your mention of it before and even asked my ISP if they supported IPv6. They said they didn't.
It was your comment which made me just finally try it. I didn't believe it would work, but 6to4Tunnel sounds like it would still use IPv4 addresses on the Internet. Which it does. The only think that's changed is the router using IPv6 and converting it out to the Internet. Even on the Wifi, it still uses IPv4. It's barely doing anything by the looks and has no effect on performance or other behaviours, yet fixes the DNS problem for me.
Still no DNS errors so far.
Same with with my ISP. No IPv6 native. So someone said to try the 6to4. It works nicely.
I've also enabled DNS over HTTPS on my Opera GX browser as well. Seems to work nicely as well.
