Thank you for the info about getting previous versions. The link was there, I just never saw it :< until I read your message and explicitly did a FIND on the page. Thank you. I'm going to try, systematically the previous versions to find out which one works.

Don't waste your time on that version.

I just tried 1.0.4.74 and things are....so far so good. Not sure if it'll have probelms in the coming hours\days, but I have the previous versions to try too if this one goes bust. Does anyone know which specific version the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN started happening with?
- WinancyOct 03, 2021ApprenticeGood luck. When I rolled back to a previous version or did any of the other suggested "cures" it worked for 15 minutes and then back to the same DNS issues. I no longer own a Netgear router.

Very weird outcome. I don't quite understand it. With 1.0.4.74, I still received some DNS errors, muss less, estimating about 75% less...but I still got some. I've reverted back to 1.0.4.68 (01-2021). So far so good. Now I have to be careful when I upgrade the firwmware. Come on NetGear, please figure it out. Let me help, here's the user story "As a user, I want to be able to open 10 tabs within 5 seconds (yes, I do this quite often while doing research) and have the pages open in their tabs, every time without page refreshes." There, simple.
