DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

Ever since i updated to the new firmware 

Firmware Version
V1.4.2.84_1.3.42

 

I've had nothing but issues. problem connecting to websites, problems connecting to discord and certain games jsut not wanting to work. I've tried something called releasing IP, flushing and renewing ip and it works for a few mins then im stuck again with issues. Its driving me crazy. Please someone help me!

    So if this problem started with a recent firmware update, you can downgrade back one version of firmware to see if the problem goes away...

        Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?


        Power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.
