FW V1.0.4.76_10.1.82, R8000 - internet page loading fails randomly and need to F5 a couple times
Hi,
Multiple clients and multiple browsers have same issue - opening a web page results in "hmm. we're having trouble finding that site. firefox error" intermittantly requiring pressing F5 a couple of times. I have tried changing DNS to 8.8.8.8 but it still happens. Looking like 1 of many bugs . . .
If anyone else is having this issue, be good to know if there are workarounds (apart from pressing F5 constantly)

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Did this just start happening after a FW update or has the router worked with out the problem up until recently?Might need to downgrade FW...

Thanks, its fixed wireless pointing to AirOS device, thats all I have visibility to.
Worked perfect on DD-WRT handing out statics, but when put stock FW on have had this issue. I tried reset and reconfig but still happens

Meant to say, had no issue on DD-WRT loading web pages (comment regarding statics is for another post)
