Nighthawk R7850 Losing DNS after latest firmware update

Sadly, the factory reset did not work.  And now as a consequence, Circle has stopped working altogether.  I had another instance of the router losing DNS resolution.  The loss of circle kind of kicks it for me.  I have a teenage and 6 year old daughter with connected devices, that I count on circle for controlling screentime and content.  Whatever netgear has done/is doing with their product line, they need to get this fixed.  I am not going to waste time with weeks of troubleshooting.  I have already purchased a new product to replace this router.  I felt that this router was a superior product for the majority of the time that I've owned it, but the last couple months have been stressful.
