Losing DNS on ethernet

 Keeps losing DNS with latest firmware, rolling back to RAX200-V1.0.5.132_1.0.69. Have done a factory reset and still had the issues. Please fix the firmware, for I do like my nighthawk.

    What do you mean by losing DNS? 

    What's happening exactly? 

    What devices are connected? 

    Happens on all devices? 

     

    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.

      2 computer that are connected via ethernet wont find the internet, they connect to the router but no dns. Router sees them connected. Meanwhile phones seen  on wifi can access web.

      A full reset gets the ports working but then becomes intermittent on the ethernet. In the past been fine.

    Might be something on the ISP side as the defaults  are the ISP's servers.

    Try a different DNS Server. Here's a few. Also remember to change the ipv6 dns server if ipv6 is enabled.
    CloudFlare
    IPv4: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
    IPv6: 2606:4700:4700:0:0:0:0:1111 and 2606:4700:4700:0:0:0:0:1001
    GoogleDNS
    IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
    IPv6: 2001:4860:4860:0:0:0:0:8888 and 2001:4860:4860:0:0:0:0:8844
