v.62 seems to be the best version for now.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

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.
Ive pass this onto NG. Im seeing DNS issues on v.76, I recommend rerverting back to v.62 for now.
Thanks for the tip. I have had this DNS issue for months, and I thought it was my ISP.
Just downgraded to v.62, going to update here if I see any issues for the next few days.
v.76 is too bad but I found the DNS issue, minor, and WiFi Smart Connect seems to slow down the WiFi performance. Disabling it brings speeds back. Also Traffic Meter seems to slow things down as well. :smileyfrustrated:
