Error DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN after update to V1.0.1.70_1.0.44 of firmware
Hi all, Ever since I have updated my AC1750 R6400 router every other site I try to open gives a DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error. If I refresh (F5), the website in question usually opens. It's a bi...
So I downgraded from V1.0.1.70_1.0.44 to (my prevous) version, V1.0.1.44_1.0.31, and everything is hunky dory again. Except, of course that I now miss security updates.
What I find odd, though, is that the router update check now proposes to update to V1.0.1.62_1.0.41. Is that because V1.0.1.70 really has a sort of beta status?
What I wonder with these Netgear devices is this: You're entitled to technical support for a few months after purchasing them, so how on earth will Netgear ever know that subsequent firmware updates contain bugs? I don't get the impression they read these forums.
just an FYI - I just reinstalled my AC1750 (got rid of my Mediacom modem that I got when I moved). I immediately updated to the latest firmware, and I too was getting a million DNS_PROBE error messages.
I also downgraded to the previous firmware, and the problem has totally gone away. Everything is working great now.
