Nighthawk X6 R8000 Problems
After the latest firmware update a couple of months ago (Firmware Version V1.0.4.76_10.1.82) I sharted having two major problems with the router: 1. Every other day the DNS breaks down, and I have ...
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.

Thank you for this solution. I was going to buy a new router. I'm not good at this sort of thing and I thought it was beyond me to get it working again but I read thru all the comments, stumbled my way thru the process of backing off down to V 62, and I think it is now fixed. I am no longer getting dns error messages and endlessly having to reload pages. I am in your debt.
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
