RBR750 DNS issues?

Is anyone else having a problem with DNS resolution using this router? I get random name resolution problems (website not found) that seem to go away if I click refresh on my browser. I also use quicken and i occasionally get problems syncing with that service too so it's not just limited to web browser. I tried changing the DNS server from my ISP's to Google's but that doesn't seem to make a difference. 

 

I'm running V3.2.16.22_1.4.9 firmware; doesn't appear to be a newer released version than that. Been going on for a while; assumed would be something that would eventually get fixed but hasn't.

Re: RBR750 DNS issues?

This is a long-standing issue affecting a subset of Orbi AX customers: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/Intermittent-DNS-Errors-and-WiFi-Issues/m-p/1950768.  Workarounds to avoid the Orbi's DNS include running your Orbi in AP mode (so it's not used for DNS), manually configuring your devices to get their DNS from the provider's IP address vs. the Orbi gateway IP, or enabling IPv6.  See the thread for the history and details.

Here is the direct link to the workaround using IPv6 https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/Intermittent-DNS-Errors-and-WiFi-Issues/m-p/2038313/highlig...

 

As many people said, this is a bug with Netgear, but they still haven't fixed it. If you still have tech support plan with them, please file a ticket to them.
