Nighthawk(R) X4S R7800 DNS Resolve stability + lost the ability to route DNS requests internally
Hi, recently i have noticed a decline in the stability of my DNS resolution through the nighthawk router, particularly after the latest firmware update. I have tried multiple DNS services over a period of time and they all seem to be of a similar behaiour. Don't get me wrong the internet works most of the time. But, every now and again the DNS will crash and i have to click apply with in the routers internet settings to reset the DNS and it works again.
Similarly, i used to use DNSMASQ on the network to cache and resolve DNS queries on my Raspberry PI. However, i have also lost the ability to use internal DNS services since the firmare update.
Does anyone have more information on this?
Thanks in advance

Please post about this here for your model router:

You might try Voxels 3rd party FW as well.
Good Luck.
