Intermittent DNS lookup failures on RBR850
Intermittent DNS lookup failures RBR850 I've been using the Orbi RBR850 for several months now and I'm constantly having issues with DNS that I've NEVER experienced with any other router I've ever u...
I've been having the same problem since installation.
This is typical about 10% of the time. After a few seconds it reloads, though sometimes the website hangs.
There is no ISP router/modem, just a direct connection to an antenna. I use static ip addresses and static DNS info (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) google.
I had no problem with my old Linksys router.
RBR850
Just updated firmware to V3.2.16.22_1.4.9
What happens if you don't use Static DNS and let the RBR auto detect DNS?
Is IPv6 enabled on the RBR?
I would open a support ticket with NG and let them know what your seeing.
Thankl you.

After working on trying to resolve this, I think I found what needs to be done to stop the intermittant DNS issues.
login to orbilogin.com Advanced, Advanced, IPv6. I setup the following:
6to4 Tunnel, Remote 6to4 relay Router set to "Auto", IPv6 Domain Name Server (DNS) Address set to "Use These DNS Servers". I chose Google's public IPv6 DNS Servers. IP Address Assignment set to "Auto". Tested using test-ipv6.com
As soon as I correctly setup IPv6, and passed the tests, I no longer see any DNS issues.
I presume this is for ISPs that have IPv6 support?

IPv6 is disabled
I don't have the choice to use auto detect DNS, my ISP sets it up for static ip.
