dns error on rbk53s
I've owned the RBK53S-100NAS router for a few years now. What I got was a much lighter wallet and years of network connectivity issues, MS Teams unstable, unstable loading of browsers, and what appeared to be "random" log-in issues with company VPN. These issues were identified as DNS errors. Another issue that I had with Orbi was the inability of the router to balance the loads on its ethernet ports. I was only able to get 1/2 the speed that my ISP actually provided me. This was the last straw. I am very happy to say that for me these DNS and port load balance issues have ALL BEEN RESOLVED by installing a tplink TL-R605 router between my ISP modem and the Orbi router. In my setup the Orbi router only functions as a wifi device for my home. My critical computers are connected to the TP-link router. All I can say is NetGear engineers have an issue with the Orbi router they need to fix.

Re: dns error on rbk53s
You are exactly right! Its not a solution for the Orbi. However, I can now live with a little peace of mind and get some work done. For the money I paid for the Orbi to have it fail at such a basic level of operation is just aweful. I will never spend so much money for a router ever again.

Re: dns error on rbk53s
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
I run VPN and Teams thru my RBR50 in router and have not seen any DNS issues. I run VPN/Teams all day while at work. My experiences.
