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?
Have been having the same issues with a Nighthawk R7960P after updating to V1.4.2.84_1.3.42 I am rolling back to V1.4.1.68_1.3.28 available from the Netgear service site. It was so bad that I could not complete my work from home without isssuing an ipconfig/flushdns every 10 minutes. If a let a screen sit, I would get a DNS resolve error when I went back into it. I sure hope Netgear gets a new version of the firmware rolled out soon. I don't like to avoid running outdated firmware on my routers.
Totally apreciate your frustration. As I also was unwilling to give up the security update, I sucessfully used the work around to set the DNS at the client machines instead. A pain, but it works well.
An interesting side note, my Android Phone uses the DNS of the router, and it works fine. It is just the Windows and iPads with an issue.
