I have an R6400v2 and have been seeing the same problem after the latest firmware update. The latest firmware update available is 1.0.4.118. I first tried to go back to a recent build from September 2020, v1.0.4.102, but was still seeing the DNS errors on several of my devices.

 

I then went back to the latest build for the previous major version, v1.0.3.66, which is from 2019. I did the change yesterday and everything seems to be working ok so far.

 

Netgear support: please check if the dnsmasq version was changed after the latest builds, my guess is that there's a bug/memory leak/service crashing problem.
