Yes manually applied updates. How often should I check for those? I will look into custom DNS I have no knowledge or experience on that topic.

Well the 850/AX series is more mature than newer stuff. NG seems to release updates not as often as newer stuff. I'd take a look maybe every 6 months. There are some known issues with IPv6 across ALL AX/AXE and BE systems in regards to IPv6 functionality. We are trying to keep NG on the table with this so this will be fixed, eventually. Many issues at hand with IPv6 including the ISP level. So taking more time than expected. NG recommends keeping IPv6 disabled for those wanting newer FW versions. They are working on it.
Hoping that disabling Armor and SPC or changing to custom DNS will help on your issue though. Sometimes ISP DNS can cause problems like this.
