R6400v2 Firmware Version 1.0.4.120 DNS problem
Hi, another update in a row, this time with version 1.0.4.120 (1.0.4.120_10.0.91), does not fix the DNS problem (DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN). There are many threads on the forum reporting this problem for different versions and there is no fix again. It is particularly worrying that the new update fixes a serious security bug (https://www.tomsguide.com/news/netgear-router-circle-patches). So we have a choice of either a working router or a secure router?
For me, the solution to the problem was update to version V1.0.4.126_10.0.102. I got help from Netgear support with my case. For others looking for a solution to a similar problem, you can download the update here: https://kb.netgear.com/000064642/R6400v2-Firmware-Version-1-0-4-126 Strange things is that my router did not offer an upgrade to this version, I had to do a manual update.

Have you tried a reset?

That happens from time to time. I have an R7000P struck in the same position.
It is one reason why some of us prefer the manual route.
The "check for updates" option is unreliable.
