RS700 DNS issues
Hi, I’ve noticed what appears to be DNS leakage in the latest two versions (1.0.11.8 & 1.0.11.6) I use custom DNS for adblocking and with both versions I’ve seen what would normally be blocked being unblocked. Suspect that after a while the RS700 is using the ISP WAN supplied DNS as well as the custom DNS as the blocking / unblock is random. When I first noticed it a few weeks back I downgraded back to 1.0.10.8 and had zero issues, everything that would normally be blocked stayed blocked. Upgraded to 1.0.11.8 when it was released and once again started seeing the issues. Happens on IPv4 & IPv6 - have tried with IPv6 disabled, same results. Have today downgraded back to 1.0.10.8. Thanks, TimRS700 DHCP Issues with newest firmware
I purchased an RS700 back in February and on the previous firmware I had the slow Wi-Fi issue and once I would login to the web UI and re-apply the Wi-Fi settings it fixed everything and seemed to be pretty solid. I upgraded a few weeks back to the newest 1.0.11.6 firmware and I have had issues with DHCP and devices showing no internet/IP configuration failure after a reboot. I reloaded the newest firmware from the web UI in Edge and completely factory reset the router and set it up from scratch and the issue remains. Anytime I reboot the router it takes me at least an hour to get it stabilized. When the router reboots I get an IP configuration failure on my Google Pixel when trying to connect and my desktop PC connects, but shows no internet. After waiting around 30 minutes I am able to get my desktop PC connected and when I log into the Web UI and go to attached devices I see many with either 169.x.x.x invalid IPs or else just 0.0.0.0 as the IP address. The fix I have found so far is to go into setup/wireless setup and re-apply the wireless settings and once I do that everything stabilizes usually within 15 minutes and all of my devices connect. I don't use the default DHCP pool so I define my own, but I did try using the default pool after the factory reset and saw the same issue. Is this the DHCP issue I saw in another thread or has that issue been fixed? Any help anyone could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!
RS700S new v1.0.11.6 DNS issue
After upgrading to version 1.0.11.6, my RS700S ignore my local AdGuard Home DNS response for blocking Ads. However, reverting to version 1.0.10.8 restored the functionality of my local AdGuard Home DNS blocking ads. How can I resolve the issue I encountered? Thank you.
