R8500 is it safe? FW: from 1.0.2.144 to 1.0.2.154
Checking in before i commit anyone update to 1.0.2.154? what device? what version? differences noted? Thanks!
Updated from 1.0.2.144 to 1.0.2.154.
No issues at all - did not need to reset to factory defaults first.
25 devices reconnected no issue
However no fix for ready share and usb being recognized after rebooting router. I must pull the usb after a rebbot and re insert it.
So, You do not see issues with DNS? if not, it might be helpful for moderators to know that R8500 does not have the fault. I expect that it does as my router R8300 is almost the same router.

I have a R8500. I'm experiencing these DNS issues after upgrading from v1.0.2.144 to v1.0.2.154. In my case, the DNS issues only affect my wired devices, not my wireless devices. Manually configuring my network adapter to use Cloudflare's DNS servers worked for me.
I'm having terrible DNS issues after applying firmware version V1.0.2.154! This is broken.
I tried changing my DNS servers to CloudFlare, Google, ISP, made no difference.
I do not see any issues with DNS. I did read about an issue over at dd-wrt that imply when using 2 dns servers but that was if one is hosted internally and one externally. I would like to see the R8500 at least resolve hosts names considering the 2 places it gets entered on the R8500.
I Only have one wired device if you send me the steps to reproduce I could add another wired device if necessary
