Did you reset the router to factory settings after the firmware flash?
New firmware sometimes introduces changes that are not compatible with the old configuration.
So while it isn't guaranteed to fix problems a factory reset is the first thing to try if you have issues with new firmware.
I will not reset to factory setting for this DNS issue. I have in the past and it did nothing. I will not reset my router from scratch. I have too many devices with set IPs that i do not want to redo. I have saved backups, but using a saved backup defeats the purpose of the reset to factory settings.
Netgear fixed the DNS with ver 155 (beta not released officially) . Now Ver 156 does not have the fix.
Winancy did the right thing. She got out. Others also. Time to make a OPNsense router and use the netgear as a access point.

In that case, any experiments you make are, to say the least, incomplete and not much help to anyone else.
You can backup your settings before you reset and restore them later. That may just bring back the fault. But at least you will know if the reset fixed the problem.
