Been around 48 hours since downgrading the firmware...zero issues. I did not see my DNS issue recurring again through multiple computers at home. I had to refresh multiple times whenever I loaded a new webpage or add a new tab, but everything is smooth sailing right now.

I'm on v62 with my R8000 now...working ok. Might revert back to this version.
