v.62 seems to be the best version for now.

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 am a few fireware updates behind. I am not able to log onto routerlogin.net or .com to do a firmware update. Can someone please help me????
