I eventually had to rollback as well. Strange how I didn't have issues for nearly 6 weeks and suddenly, DNS resolution began faultering.
I tried re-flashing, restoring a back up .cfg created from the original branch, but the behavior continued. I then reset and tested upgrade to 1.4.2.84 from a unmodified flash of 1.4.1.68, same behavior. At this point, I recommend going back or holding at 1.4.1.68
As stated, nothing has changed except the firmware. And just to add on, the modem is a Netgear CM2050 and the provider is Xfinity. There has been no firmware update on the modem. the issue is for every computer on the LAN side including phones and tablets. BTW I'm a network admin. I have a test enviroment to that I run all updates through before rolling them out to production devices. I would hope that Netgear does the same, and this is somehow yet another fluke and not a "good enough" update.
