R8000P - DNS issues after firmware update

68 came out over a year ago. 84 came out 6 months ago and the DNS issues have been getting reported since then. I don’t think 6 months = overnight or that it is unreasonable to expect at least some sort of hot fix to be made available within 6 months, especially when the issue directly impacts your ability to use the internet, which is kind of the main purpose of having a router. Having to use an insecure firmware version for 6 months as the only solution to continue to use this hardware is not a good look.
Well it is what it is. I've seen some mfrs take 9 mths to a year to come out with new FW updates. You'll have to be patient.
