Intermittent DNS Errors and WiFi Issues
I have had the Orbi AX6000 for a few months now. While there are many things I love about it (great wifi coverage, great speed, looks nice, software, ease of setup, etc.), there are two very frustra...

New FW however nothing mentioned about DNS issues. Maybe something to try:
I just upgraded to V3.2.16.22_1.4.9 and soon encountered the intermittent DNS issue, so doesn't appear fixed for me. I have a browser bookmark for this forum and when I visit it, intermittently see a Netgear "authentication failed" page instead of the list of discussions. I believe this intermittent behavior corresponds to the intermittent DNS issue. I also see various browser links fail, or retry and then succeed, due to this issue.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

- Running on the latest firmware, I performed a factory reset and spent 20 minutes setting up the device again. Still getting DNS_PROBE_FAILED_NXDOMAIN failures on Chrome using the Orbit for DNS. Still getting app failures. Did NOT enable Armor during setup.
So, latest firmware with factory reset...no dice. - Just logged into the App to see that Armor enabled itself after the install...was getting notifications on connecting devices. Had to disable it again. I KNOW I didn't enable it during the reconfiguration (rather purposefully!!!) so something is wonky as hell.
So after a reset and walking thru the setup wizard and not selecting to enable Armor, Armor was enabled anyways?
Just another data point - I have a new RBK753S system, and am also experiencing the intermittent DNS error issue. I've tried using both ISP and Google DNS servers and it doesn't seem to affect anything.
