"This site can't be reached" with R8000P-V1.4.2.84_1.3.42
After upgrading the firmware to R8000P-V1.4.2.84_1.3.42, I have noticed that websites might not open at first attempt.
"This site can't be reached" (ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED) might occur due to DNS Error with the firmware.
FIX: I have downgraded firmware to V1.4.1.68_1.3.28 and the issue has been solved as of now.
Reply to this post if you're facing the same issue or the fix worked for you.

I believe if you search this forum, you'll find others already having problems with v84 FW. Yes, resolution is to revert back.

Same issue and this is on wifi connections and wired connections.
Network is also very sluggish to many sites.
Have not downgraded but it may be worth it.
