- Dec 30, 2021Thanks to all for the suggestions. Quick update — tried the DNS setting change and thought that was a fix, but then it wasn’t.
So, in conclusion, the only real solution is to downgrade your firmware and wait for the issue to be fixed.
Thanks again to all and hope this helps others with the same issue.

Manually setting DNS on your client definitely works. Here's the catch though and what may be happening to you. If you use multiple wireless SSID's, you have to make the change for each one because each SSID has its own DNS setttings. So if you connect to "yourwirelessSSID" and make the DNS change to that adapter, that fixes the issue, but then if you connect to "yourwirelessSSID-2", the problem will re-appear until you make the DNS change on that adapter too. It's a PITA, but it works once you change all your adapters to use manual DNS.
