What modem/gateway is the router connected to?
Hi plemans. Thank you for your reply. It is connected to a bog standard cable modem from my ISP. Perhaps I am being naive but I discounted the modem as being the issue as it is a passthrough and I believe all the DNS activity happens in the router.
No idea what model a "bog standard modem" is but they can be important. Some bridge modes are poorly implemented or not even a proper bridge mode at all.
Its why sometimes we'll recommend leaving a ISP supplied modem/router in router mode, disable its wifi, and then either put the netgears IP address into its DMZ or run the netgear in access point mode.
It's a Virgin Media Super Hub 2 that I have had for an age (I doubt this would mean much too you so I omitted it). I will certainly give what you say a whirl, thanks. I am a tad sceptical that it'll work as I've had the modem in modem-mode connected to my R7000 for years and it worked flawlessly.
