7/29/21 - Firmware update 1.0.4.74
Anyone having issues with this firmware update version 1.0.4.74? Ever since I updated my router's firmware to this version my browser(mozilla firefox) has been having issues connecting to webpages. T...
Recommended build to use currently is v.62:

It probably does not. I tested a fix this morning but it has not yet been released. Hopefully soon.
Can confirm that the new firmware has the same DNS issue as previous version (.74).
Would you be willing to share that test firmware with me?
I'm betting even though there's a trail of tech support, I won't be given a partial refund for the Netgear Nighthawk they bricked with the update. I've already thrown it out, so no update will help me. I don't think I should be expected to deal with that DNS crap for months while they figure it out.

Bricked in what sense? I ask because people have been known to abuse that label.
Fairly certain that winancy's router had issues with DNS even after the roll back of FW. so once it did the update he was stuck with the DNS problem. He had no recourse but to replace the router. In my case, the roll back fixed my issue.

FW was for the 8300. It will not work on the 8000.
