Still outstanding issue about DNS tried everything above and nothing is fixing this temperamental firmware.
I'm assuming by the fact that its a known issue and has been several months that Netgear has dropped support on this device and this firmware is trash.
doing workarounds for ip6 etc did not work for me. I have a personal website that I can't access half the time (before you mention via a vpn or mobile it works flawlessly) this is 100% the routers issue. this firmware should be recalled.
almost on the verge of flashing the firmware to tomato to be done with this.
Certainly has given me less respect for Netgear products.

Be careful with Tomato I tried it and bricked my router after recovering from that and doing more research on Tomato and Openwrt they appear to have stopped development some time ago. I'm now running DD-WRT latest build 10-03-2022-r50313 with little headaches. I've been running solid for the past 3 days without a hickup. I do have 1 of the 5Ghz radio's that is problematic while the other 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz are working perfectly for me. At least its usable now.
