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 RECOMMEND YOU ATTEMPT TO USE 154!!!
Whatever changes it makes does not seem to be backed out by down rev'ing in my experience with it.
