    Having this same issue.

     

    Chrome specifically cites "DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE", while FireFox simply states "We can’t connect to the server at <any-website>".

     

    Then when I refresh the page, the site loads. Definitely some kind of issue with the way the router pings the DNS.

     

    Firmware Version
    V1.0.4.74_10.1.80

    Same here. R8000 with Firmware Version V1.0.4.76_10.1.82.

     

    I saw other similar posts suggesting ot downgrade the firmware. but really not dare to do it considering the exposure to vulnerabilities.

     

    So just wait patiently for Netgear Dev to fix it with a new firmware.
