Well if your saying that AP mode doesn't resolve this and if the handling is done by a 3rd party router in front of the RBR in AP mode, then you saying that the DNS issue is still seen? Seems that if the 3rd party router was handling DNS, then your saying the problem is there too? Seems like others have already posted that AP mode does work. Check the history.
The comment was for historical reference. If one has been a NG router user, one would already know this. NG has always had and stil uses DNS Proxy on there routers. Been like this since I joined them over 15+ years ago. Only other mfr I know of that allows users to disable this is D-Link. Maybe others.
No value suggested. Take it for what you like.
Anyways, all this is beating a dead horse. It's all the hands of NG now. Users need to either wait for the fix to appear or return there items and find something that does work.
Good Luck.

I personally have interpreted your input of "This is beating a dead horse" to "you shouldn't bother posting about this anymore".
However, at the same time, you yourself have posted that you will post as you wish when others have commented that they have found your posts to be less than helpful inputs on this issue. I find this rather hypocritical, but I will borrow your own argument.
Well, so shall we. If we wish to continue to beat the dead horse, so that everyone else can SEE THE DEAD HORSE that we're pointing at, we will continue to fill up this board, and this thread with comments upon comments to ensure that Netgear forum moderators, engineers, and customers who wish to share their stories and experiences about this issue have this brought to the forefront.
