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...

Was given access to the series 8 beta which I have now applied.
DNS issue appears to have been resolved and internet appears to be much faster.
So far so good.
Now all we need is parental filtering!

I might give the beta a try later on as well, at least some positive news - after 12 months. Currently I have the Orbi's in AP mode and things are now just 'working' perfectly. I noticed that the DNS/NAT handling on the Orbi's was different (worse) compared to the Asus. So I am curious to find out if with the fix for the DNS issue this also got changed.

Let us know your results when you test it.
Loaded mine last nite. I turned off 6to4 and using ISP DNS. Everything default for DNS. Nothing special or any work arounds being used.

Testing the Firmware v3.2.18.223 Beta on the Orbi Netgear RBK853 appears to have resolved the DNS Issues. Running nicely so far. Will update if any issues detected, so far none using IPv4.
