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 tested using test-ipv6-com and it is now getting a score of 16. What I can't get past is this:

I am using Zonealarm free firewall and it is set to allow for ipv6 networking, but not sure why that message is being generated.
The bottom line, though, is that the original DNS issues are gone, no more 404 errors, or page load errors.
