Daylight Savngs Time, NTP, DNS Issues
Something is going on with Orbi routers and NTP/DNS. Since the time change, many users are reporting issues with their DNS failing since the time change: https://www.reddit.com/r/orbi/comments/m5l...

That's the exact link I put in the original post lol
- Same problem, started after daylight savings time hit... I was 1 level below current firmware at v102, upgraded to 104 hoping issue would resolve itself and it is the same on either version. DNS works temporarily, then stops forwarding... really hampering remote office work for both my wife and myself. I've set the DNS statically on our PCs and laptops, but look to Netgear to actually acknowledge and respond to the issue. Staying silent is not helping any of us...
Just happened again, forcing another reboot and then DNS returns. Does not matter that I have hardcoded the DNS values in the router settings. Does not matter that I disabled using the Netgear NTP server and switched to a nist NTP server. It would be nice if Netgear would at least acknowledge there's an issue here. It'd be nice to give us a workaround and it would be proper support to provide an actual fix to the problem.
It's frustrating and ridiculous that Netgear can't figure out Daylight Saving time and have zero comment on it. I get a ton of worthless spam from them about products and services but no urgent fix for this issue or even acknowledgement that there is an issue.
