RBR850-frequently issuing DNS error in browsers then refreshes and proceeds to applicable webpage
Noticing intermittant issues on several of my home PCs, when opening webrower and type in an URL, I'll get an DNS probe error for maybe 2secs then automatically will open the intended webpage Happen...
Ok thanks but
It’s dated oct 2020 and not real resolution unless I missed it
I don’t enter to manually set google dns in each device

Unfortunately the issue still exists and not solved by the latest Orbi AX firmware for the subset of customers impacted by this bug. Follow the main thread if you want to watch for any new progress.
Yes, this is a well documented issue with Netgear Orbi AX systems but they're not fixing it.
DNS issue (and not getting any response from Netgear that they are busy fixing it) was reason for me to return the Orbi RBK853 router.
Wifi coverage was fine, but having to use the Orbi only as Access Point combined with my old router feels not ok.
Future reference, some more detailed information is here about it:
NG IS aware of the problem.
AP mode is only a short term solution until NG fixes this.
Good Luck
