RBR852 - iPhone unable to load content on pages, images, or app
I'm receiving intermittent connection errors after I installed the RBR852 mesh network. We have a iPhone 11 Pro Max and an iPhone X. The satellite is more that 30 ft away from router. I have a Arris S...
I wonder if this is the same intermittent DNS issue as reported in: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/RBR850-frequently-issuing-DNS-REFUSED-responses/m-p/1926055
On my Windows laptop I tried configuring the Windows wi-fi device's connection to use 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) for DNS instead of the Orbi AX (192.168.1.1). This made the problem go away. I don't know how/if this can be done for an iPhone.
I previously used the Orbi admin website to configure its Internet Port DNS to 8.8.8.8 (instead of using my Comcast ISP DNS servers) but this didn't fix my intermittent DNS issues.

Changing the DNS server on my iPhones fixed the problem. Thanks Mikey!
