"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.

    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.
