Nighthawk 7900P FW v1.4.2.84, getting web site not found DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN errors
After upgrading my Nighthawk 7900P to firmware v1.4.2.84, I am getting a fair amount of web site not found DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN errors and have to reload to get to the web site.
I had to downgrade to firmware 1.4.1.68 to resovle the issue.
Any one else seeing this problem? Any chance Netgear will fix soon?

You're not the first to report the issues. Its across mutliple product lines.
One thing you can try is enabling ipv6 on the router if you update it. I've see some issues with that disabled on the newer firmwares

I too had the same problem after upgrading the firmware to v1.4.2.84. Many internet sites not available. Took the steps to reload the earlier version. Seems to be working much smoother now, along with a computers in the home.
Sure seems like they overlooked something.
