Nighthawk X6 AC3200 R8000 Firmware upgrade DNS issue

Hello,

 

Based on the following discussion, this is a re-occurring issue with these firmware updates:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/DNS-issues-after-upgrade-to-R7900-v1-0-4-46-10-0-53-firmware/m-p/2154849

 

I am seeing the same behavior with the latest firmware, so I downgraded to V1.0.4.68_10.1.75 and that solved the problem. Can someone investigate this? The discussion above from October of 2021 shows that this is resolved with previous firmware versions, but it is happening again with the latest firmware (1.0.4.76). I have not had any issues with my Netgear routers in the past, but this seems to becoming a pattern. Please advise.

 

Thanks,

 

Zach
