Intermittent DNS Errors and WiFi Issues
I have had the Orbi AX6000 for a few months now. While there are many things I love about it (great wifi coverage, great speed, looks nice, software, ease of setup, etc.), there are two very frustra...
Please give option 3 a try and see. You DNS will be handled at the modem in this configuration. DNS handling is disabled on the RBR when in AP mode.
But if you go AP mode you lose guest networking and any ability to further segment your network with the ROUTER you bought. This is just STUPID. All that Netgear needs do is add DHCP OPTION DNS to the DHCP config screen and let us use a working. DNS server instead of their broken one.
Also wonder for those of you who have these gateway modems are also a problem. Even though in bridge or modem only mode, makes me wonder if these modems units are also causing problems. I dont use a gateway modem and have a modem only unit, I have never seen this issue to date with my Orbi AX.
At any rate, users will need to keep in contact with NG support about this.
