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...

This Beta firmware is as good as official version. Zero issues.

I have updated my router and two satellites to the beta firmware, v3.2.19.4. I reset the network connections and manually rebooted all three devices (router, satellite, satellite in that order). After releasing and renewing device IP settings on a device I knew had issues, I (so far) have not had issues with that device (after trying to get it to break for about 30 seconds, I could not).
I will keep the community updated, but I am hopeful.Thank you, @Christian_R for providing the beta firmware.

P.S. The config of the dnsmasq run line does not appear to be changed, so I'm not sure what they changed:
dnsmasq -h -n -c 0 -N -i br* -r /tmp/dns/resolv.conf -u root
DNSBench shows better performance than outside router for DNS lookups except for 'cached' - I am assuming that dnsmasq is still providing no caching capability on the router. I've structured my layout to point the Orbi at the DMZ router DNS and utilize it for cached entries - at 7 ms delay, it's probably not going to be noticeable. We'll see when I boot up the games later today.

They moved resolve.conf from /tmp to /tmp/dns
If this is how it runs in the new firmware that will solve all of the dns issues.
