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?
I was un-willing to give up the secuirty update, so I just configured the DNS settings on the invidual (windows-based, Apple IOS still seem to work fine) workstations. I like cloud flare for this. This seems to work just fine.
Have you tried this approach to be able to keep the new update?
I have the same problem after upgrading the firmware. Setting the DNS at the windows level fixed the issue.
Thanks for the recommendation. Like someone asked what happened to NETGEAR QC? I will think twice next time when I have to upgrade my router. Few times my router reset it self loosing all the configuration. Later i found out that it was due to auto firmware upgrade was on. So I disabled to avoid any issues in future.
I have my router config backed up before the firmware upgrade. If i have to hard reset the router, can I restore these configurations?
You can try. Would be best if you reset and setup from scratch first and check for DNS issues. Then try loading your saved config files if the problem appears. Problem may continue and you may need to revert FW.
