This Site Can't Be Reached / Garbage Router??? Solution buy a different brand of router?
Firmware upgrade and now, "Site Can't be reached" on multiple sites I use daily for work. I have tried all the solutions I have seen, Flush DNS and all the others. NOT WORKING. I saw the suggestion to downgrade to older firmware but not willing to do that. Are there any real solutions for this or is just time to throw those router in the garbage and get one that doesn't have this issue.
Thanks if you find a real soltion,

What modem do you have it connected to?
Did you try enabling ipv6 and rebooting devices and the router?
Have you tried using a custom dns for both the ipv4 and the ipv6 address?

To which version?
Your description of the problem does not give much to go on.
What is the exact message that you see and what you you done to troubleshoot it.

You may have to do that if the problem is down to the firmware on your router.
The chances of doing any harm by reverting to earlier firmware are vanishingly small.
Trying an earlier version would at least confirm that this is the problem. It does not have to be a permanent move.
I love how most people on here respond but don't read. THE LATEST FIRMWARE! V1.0.4.76_10.1.82
If you're going to not read the post and not think, then don't respond.

Where do you say that? I can't find it in this conversation.
Forgive us if we don't dive all over the places reading messages elsewhere, if that is where you provided this essential information.
It is meaningless to say "the latest", which you don't seem to have claimed. By the time someone reads that here, we may be several versions on. Only the number, which is also missing from your previous messages here, means anything.
Upgraded Firmware. Common sense would tell most people on this planet that would mean the latests software. Also not willing to use older firmware would again tell someone with common sense it's the latests firmware. If you're still confused you could look at the date of the post.
