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...
I created an account just to add my voice to the choir here as well. Thought I was going nuts and tried everything short of re-imaging my PCs. Was googling for months now trying to find any other common denominator (ISP, Network Card, Browser) and finally remembered today that around the new year I had updated the router firmware. Thank you all for your previous posts and I can again confirm that downgrading from .76 to .68 fixed all the issues I was having.
Please Netgear, get the fix in place for future updates.

It's amazing to me that with all this feedback proving that it's obviously a firmware problem, they seem to have done nothing. It's firmware--it can be fixed, which is proven by the fact that I've been using Fresh Tomato for months now and it works great! It seems really short sighted--I mean, I'm sure they want to focus on selling new products, but this router isn't that old. I certainly wouldn't ever buy a netgear router again just because of this.
