COME ON NETGEAR WAKE UP AND FIX THE BROKEN DNS YOU CAUSED
WAKE UP NETGEAR. FIX THE DNS ISSUE YOU CAUSED WITH THE FLAWED FIRMWARE UPDATE. PLEASE REALISE WE BUY ROUTERS TO USE THE INTERNET, SO IF THEY DONT WORK ALTERNATIVE VENDORS WILL BE FOUND.
Yes I fully understand that this is not an official Netgear forum. But how else can one get Netgear do fix their products so they work as they are supposed to. Netgear so called support is non-existent, having tried to get a response from someone there.
Did you try downgrading the firmware? Theres been more than 1 model effected by the dns issue on the curent firmware.
I have not downgraded yet. I 'fixed' the with a temorary work around so I would have the up to date security fixes. D

What was that? I'm sure that people would love to know.
This is the workaround I used:
Go to into routeradmin pages go to advanced home and note the dns entries.
Go to windows control panel and click on ‘Network and sharing centre’
Click ‘change adaptor settings’. DoubleClick the ethernet/wifi adaptor and click properties,
highlight Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4) click properties:
Click ‘use the following DNS server address’ and enter dns numbers in the ‘preferred dns server’ and alternative server boxes.
