DNS HELL
Ever since "upgrading" to V1.0.4.76_10.1.82. The new "Armor" security is causing DNS nightmares. It is slow and constantly block sites and downloads. I can't even download an older version of ...
I've been using Netgear for two decades. This is by far the worst experience I've had with their products.
As an experiment I did the following steps:
downgraded V1.0.4.52_10.1.67
Disabled Armor - DNS issues went away
Re-updated to firmware V1.0.4.76_10.1.82 - DNS issues came back
downgraded again to V1.0.4.52_10.1.67 - DNS issues went away.
A can confirm at least on my model V1.0.4.52_10.1.67 is not working properly.
Netgear needs to get rid of Armor.
I have the same problem............what a PIECE of GARBAGE.........total GARBAGE.
My Netgear went from being one of the best products around to a piece of steaming SHEITE.
FIX IT , or I will never own or recommend Netgear again.

Re-updated to firmware V1.0.4.76_10.1.82 - DNS issues came back < Not working. Was Armor disabled here as well?

A can confirm at least on my model V1.0.4.52_10.1.67 is not working properly. Do you mean V1.0.4.76 doesn't work as you reported v52 working?
