DNS Issues after firmware upgrade
I recently upgraded to the V1.42.84_1.3.42 firmware verison on my router. Since the update I am seeing random DNS timeout errors (the probe errors). In most cases, the time out is replaced within 1-2...
If I enable IPV6, what option should I be using?
Auto Detect?
6 to 4 tunnel or?
We are having similiar issues with multiple clients. The router seems to be blocking websites on the DNS level. Not sure if the BitDefender that is installed on the routers have something to do with it, but websites like logmein, teamviewer, logmein client can't connect, godaddy, etc. And it's all on a perfectly clean OS.
It is just like this writer said, they will not connect at first, but if you keep refreshing, eventually you'll get in. All browsers working the same way. It appears that doing a flushdns or restarting the computer will allow one entry, but then all websites will start doing the same thing again. Want to blame Comcast, but no issues reported.
There is no virus protection or non default firewalls in place. Windows 11, Windows 10. Have not tried an Apple, but I'm sure the same problems would happen. Have removed the default McAfee and all Lenovo Software that came on this Yoga, currently running Win11 with all updates. Was working perfectly fine for the last three months, then since the firmware upgrade on the NETGEAR, refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh, aaaaahhhh!!!!
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
Is Armor enabled on the router?
Try a reset and setup from scratch and do not enable Armor, Access Controls or Traffic Meter.
If all else fails, revert FW back to what was working on the router.
