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?
This solved it for me, hope it helps:
1. Log in to your router
2. Change DNS servers from auto to servers like cloudflare 1.1.1.1. & 1.0.0.1. or others (there are many options, just do a quick Google search).
3. Save settings. I also updated each of my devices to use these servers, but it was already working properly after step 2.
I’ve tried every suggestion in these forms, including setting Cloudflare and Google DNS server IP’s. Nothing worked DNS resolution continually broken. Fix for me was to return the router to Costco and get a different brand. Best of luck to all of you
