R8000P - DNS issues after firmware update
For some unknown reason, the automatic firmware update did not work on my R8000P router, and I found that I was one version behind at 1.4.1.68. So I manually updated to 1.4.2.84. After the update, ...
Is Netgear working on a solution?! Has anybody heard? I'm very dismayed that such a blatant and pervasive problem has gone unaddressed for many weeks.
I know they're aware of the issue. And I've seen beta fixes for the R6400/R6700 that a Mod sent to a few users.
So I have a feeling its in the works but they don't release any details on ETA's.
Can confirm that downgrading to V1.4.1.68_1.3.28 "fixes" the DNS issue. Fortunately, the security flaw V1.4.2.84_1.3.42 is supposed to fix requires access to the local LAN, so I guess we'll just have to live with that for now. (Of course, anyone who follows INFOSEC news knows there are ways around the "local LAN" issue. Just make sure everyone in your household/office knows to browse safely.)
