You're right. It is trouble some.
we've see a lot of the newest firmware releases across multiple product line have DNS issues.
Some have been able to enable IPv6 and it works.
Others have been able to set individual DNS addresses in their devices and it works.
others have had to downgrade.
thanks for posting as the more people who do, the more likely the mod's/engineers see the issue.

YES, I did all of these before downgrading the firmware. I was even thinking the possibility that uprading to 1.4.2.84_1.3.42 somehow bricked my R7960P router. SO I started looking for a cheap one on eBay, and I actually bidded one at $25.00:)
These error messages didn't showup when I was tethering my laptop to my TMo phone on an out of town trip last week, so I had to think it's either the ISP modem, or the router.

Can you downgrade back to v68?

YES, downgrading is just the same as upgrading. It will give you a message saying you are uploading a lower version. And if we are sure the lower version works fine, you can go ahead. That's exactly what I did.
