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...
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?
Good 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.

Did your experiments with this version inlude the tedious process of doing a factory reset? That might have cleared anything left over that triggered the errors.
Factory reset? No. Wouldn't that effectively wipe out the firmware update? Or does the firmware update live through the factory reset (I wouldn't expect it to live through that).
