If you want to put a bandaid on the problem, in Windows, click on the little wifi icon at bottom right, select Network & Internet settings, click on the adapter you are using (likely Wi-Fi), click on change adapter options, right click on Wi-Fi adapter and choose properties, double click Internet Protocol Version 4, change DNS to use the following DNS server and enter 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. This will fix the issue until NG releases an update. To reverse this change do the same, but select Obtain DNS server address automatically.
*Rolling back firmware is a security risk so please don't advise that and mark the thread solved. That is not an acceptable solution! This is not solved until NetGear releases a firmware upgraded that addresses the issue!
I started to get the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error along with ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED since a recent update as well. It is distressing and has been causing me anxiety. I purchased the unit in March 2021 and it has been fine until now. I have spent countless hours trying all of the fixes noted by others in the community and via online research to no avail prior to discovering that others in the community are having the same issue and have narrowed it down to a Netgear issue as well.
Netgear do you plan to issue an update with the fix in the next few weeks? If not I am done and will cancel my subscription and buy another brand. Please advise.....
