DNS>PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error since latest update
Model R6400, firmware v1.0.1.74_1.0.48, Windows 10, ethernet connection Since I updated the firmware, I have been getting DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN errors when I open up browsers and go to webpage...
Check your sons settings on his laptop. Most likely his adapter is set to not use the router for DNS. (set manaully)
if a windows laptop run ipconfig /all scroll to find Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi look for DNS What is the ip(s)? compare to the desktop.
Mine would show as 192.168.0.1 (router) . My issues are on wi-fi. I have not checked if my ethernet devices are affected.

That's pretty technical for me!!! And he's not wanting me to interrupt his game right now. :-)
But I found something very interesting and I'm not sure if I can adequately explain it.
I clicked on the Internet Access icon in the tray. It had been saying "network 2" for as long as I can remember. Just for the heck of it, I turned on wifi and clicked on the router SSID and connected to the router. I tested all the webpages that have been giving me issues and they all came up without a hitch. I then turned off wifi and it said I was connected to ethernet, but now the Internet Access doesn't say "network 2" anymore, it is the SSID name for the router. And everything is working just fine. UPDATE: It worked fine for the usual 10minutes and then back to the NXDOMAIN error, both on Chrome and Edge.
