Ya I saw some DNS items yesterday. Still not sure if it was browser cache or something else.
Have you factory reset and setup from scratch?
Have you enabled IPv6 on the router as well?

Still an issue with the R8500 and the latest .160 firmware. I have to go back to .144 again (year old).

I have installed this firmware and did a factory reset. I still am seeing the DNS errors. I am thinking it is time to replace the unit as it does not appear that this will be addressed. Reinstalling an old firmware with known issues is not a serious option for me.
Disappointed R8500 owner.
