Same problem here with the latest firmware 1.0.4.74 DNS fails to resolve when browsing. Fix your garbage update Netgear!
I have been dealing with this same issue for several weeks now. Factory reset, reverting to the previous firmware, and all the other flushing and renewing hasn't corrected the problem. I've been contacted by Netgear support and worked with them twice. Changing to Google DNS, clearing caches, factory reset, and a whole bunch of other things read off the script. When she suggested that I turn off my firewall and anti-virus and I refused, she said to call my ISP because that's probably what the problem is.

I ordered a new router. Not Netgear. It arrives tomorrow. I hope it solves the problem.

Wow she suggested you turn off your firewall and AV.
Just chiming in. I am having the same issues since the 74 update. I rolled back to 68 and same deal now. I work from home and am extremely aggravated by this. Hoping that Netgear updates and fixes this asap. If not, I will be purchasing a router from a different company asap.
Still nothing from netgear. smh
