DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
Such a pain!! I hadn't logged into my router for a time and when I did, it said that I needed to upgrade my firmware. OK, I did. Then, I started receiving these issues: "This site can’t be reache...
Just enable it and try the Auto setting. I would reboot the router and all of your devices after you make the change.

The modem is from the TimeWarner / Spectrum cable company.
1.0.4.76 is now installed *after* the downgrade.
IPv6 - what setting is required?? I click this option under the Advanced Setup and there is a dropdown...
Again - I am asking for instructions:
- what version firmware *should* be installed and a link to the download?

Thank You
What model router do you have? Same model?
What FW version is loaded on the router?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Have you enabled IPv6 on the router?

"Check if there is a typo in [insert URL]""DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN"
I thought to open a support incident but I can't due to claims that I am "out of warranty". Then I discover the following:

It is *SO* frustrating that this is a *known* issue yet the firmware upgrade still persisted. Then, on top of it, *no* support alternatives offered even though NetGear *caused* the problem.
Jeesh...
