Getting DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE error on R8000
In about the last month and a half, I have started noticing two things: * pings spike every 5 minutes, from about 8-9ms, to over 1000ms, for 5-10 seconds (this messes up Remote Desktop) * DNS_PR...
Just created an account to say thanks to the forum members for the only sane solution right now for me: to downgrade to V1.0.4.68_10.1.75. Obviously, I will NEVER get any NetGear product. Wasting my time waiting for a new firmware after suffering daily since 2 months ago when I THOUGHT I was doing the right thing by upgrading firmware (security etc)...and this crap isn't fixed on the next firmware either???
My log:
1/11/2022: Updated firmware to V1.0.4.76_10.1.82 - broke the router!
3/30/2022: Updated firmware to V1.0.4.84_10.1.84 - router still broken! Been having an issue with bad DNS server (no websites found on first try but works after refresh).
3/30/2022: Downgraded firmware to V1.0.4.68_10.1.75
3/30/2022: Revert to factory default settings (just to be on safe side). ... Setup | Wireless Setup | Smart connect: Off -> On ... Administration | NTP Settings | Automatically adjust for daylight savings time: Off -> On (time was off) ... Router Auto Firmware Update: MUST KEEP TURNED OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS
**Had to physically power cycle router after changing QoS setting (disabled QoS later, for now), and also after reverting to default settings...**
