I gave up on using this error b/c of the issue where firmware version R6700v3-V1.0.4.120_10.0.91 broke DNS.  Downgrading and doing factory resets didn't work.   Wound up getting a replacement TPLINK AX10 wireless router that's been flawless.

 

However, I still have this Netgear router that is past store return period.  I would like to sell it but can't b/c I know of the flawed DNS issue.

 

I see that Netgear just released firmware version Firmware 1.0.4.122 with "security updates" with no mention of the DNS issue or if this firmware fixes it.  

 

Does anyone know if Firmware 1.0.4.122 fixes the DNS issue?  Anyone tried? 

 

Thanks

    I also had the DNS errors with firmware v1.0.4.118_10.0.90 tht was fixed by downgrading back to v1.04.106_10.0.80.

    I saw the firmware
    V1.0.4.122_10.0.95 and I updated a couple of days ago.   At this point I have NOT seen any of the DNS lookup errors that occurred before.  Hopefully this fixed the DNS errors.    I will post back if the errors pop up again.

      Curious. I have the X6 R8000, and have the 1.0.4.68 and minimal DNS errors. But the best version I can do to upgrade to is 1.0.4.76_10_1_82 (why the convoluted versioning?)....why is this so different from others reported?
