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...
FURRYe38 Same, it was what I was originally using to fix this issue as well.
The search engine Google.com, started warning me about using it, if using the Firefox web-browser with DNS over HTTPS (other web-browsers don't seem to show the warning message and required captcha). It's a security risk or some issue with using the 6to4 Tunnel, that it has been Deprecated back in 2015. Google now plans to remove all support for it.
I forgot to take a screenshot of it, but have found one from someone else, see attached. You have to complete that every time you want to use Google search, if using 6to4 Tunnel, with Firefox and DNS over HTTPS. It doesn't appear to be safe or secure to use? It was deprecated due to possible hijacking and spoofing across it.
Interesting. Well I don't use Google so I presume other seach engines may work differently.
Wonder what router mfrs are doing with this. I try and inquire about this and see.

I received a beta firmware for DNS fix. It seems to work so far. No DNS errors yet. If any of you can give me websites which usually produce DNS errors, I can test those as well.
Thanks,
The few times I saw this on mine was here in the forums. This forum and https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/bd-p/Orbi
I use Opera GX browser.

This one works perfectly. No errors.
Do you still have IPv6 6to4 enabled or disabled? Good test on this beta would be no to use 6to4 DNS and use Automatic DNS options on the RBR to see if something appears or not.

I have 6to4 DNS disabled and Automatic DNS options "on"
