6.6.1 on Ultra 6 Loses DNS lookup after a few days
I have my router configured as the DNS server in the network settings. It can reach the router fine but it fails to resolve addresses after a few days. I reboot the NAS and it is good to go again for...
The NAS IP is reserved in DHCP by the router
The DNS setting on the NAS is hard coded to point to the IP of the router
I would prefer to let my Router manage the IPs unless you have found that this would fix the DNS lookup issue?
I share your preference. I cannot offer a solution. This is just a suggestion.
My idea is: Currently the router is responsible for assigning the ip address to the nas. Now it would be interesting to see, whether the problem continues after you take away that responsibility from the router and leave the nas with a fix ip address.
If that helps, you a) would have a temporay fix and b) could continue to research for something which gets you closer to your preferred configuration.
I would suggest the same thing... "for troubleshooting purposes".
Try to switch your NAS to static IP for now, and confirm if the issue still occurs or not. That would help narrowing down the root cause.
