Hi kadmus11,
Please let me know if turning off the Router Protection function addresses your issue. That is also the suggestion I was going to ask you to try.
Router Protection protects the router itself from the attacks from the WAN (Internet) side as well as from the LAN side. It blocks malicious probes like port scans (to the router) and the attacks specifically targeting known vulnerabilities, if there is any, on the router. When a new volnuerability discovered on the router, we will update the protection engine automatically and quickly to prevent the vulnerability from being explored.
It does seem to have fixed the issue. No DNS issues on windows since I turned it off. Do you think it is that feature in general? Or a specific update?
Seen similar issues on other NH routers, i.e. my RAX50v2 that's online currently. Disabled PE and problem stopped happening.
Seems like there needs to be some review and tuning up on PE.
Glad disabling helped you out.
