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

Bob,
You seem to be very upset. Sorry your experience hasn't been a good one. My Arris modem is working fine as well. Arris did have issues with the 6K series (Puma6) based chipset, but the 8200 has worked well with Comcast for me. Both IPv4 and IPv6. I'm using with Gigabit speed.
