Re: NightHawk R8500 - Odd DNS Error post-firmware upgrade

About ten days ago, I upgraded the firmware to the latest version. Rebooted the router. Since then, the PCs on my network are experiencing delays loading most web pages. aaaa
The browers displays "Hummmmmm. Can't reach this page" with a "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" error. After a few seconds, the pages usually kick in - or a refresh usually does the trick. a
This happens on all of my PCs/devices and regardless of the browser being used.
Any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: NightHawk R8500 - Odd DNS Error post-firmware upgrade
Doesn't appear to be much of a solution - rolling back a security upgrade?
How do we get NetGear to chime in on this?
Thanks

And getting netgear to chime in on fixing an old ass router probably ain’t going to happen lol
But one can hope.

Open a support ticket with NG support and let them know what your seeing.
https://www.netgear.com/support/#
I presume NG does already know about this as it seems to be effecting several router models.

Re: NightHawk R8500 - Odd DNS Error post-firmware upgrade
(Not sure where my last post went, trying again.)
I see the R8500 has a new firmware release R8500-V1.0.2.156_1.0.105 dated 11/5/2021.
Anyone try it yet to see if the ultra annoying DNS bug has been fixed?

Oh, just found another thread with the answer. Sadly, no, the new firmware does not appear to fix the DNS bug.
