R7900P:
...
There's a new firmware dated 4/12/2022 for the R7900P, version 1.4.3.88
The release notes don't mention fixing this issue but I installed it, removed my manual DNS settings on two computers and so far haven't had the issue come back up.
Fingers crossed this fixes the DNS issue for good!
Thanks for the heads up. Just updated and removed my manual DNS entries. All good so far, Cheers!
I've been running the latest firmware version (88) that released last week and, after several days, I've yet to run into the DNS Probe issues I had with 84. The IPv6 change didn't really work for me when I tried, so I had no choice but to revert to a previous working version, so I'm glad this latest version seems to be working.
Had the same problem on this firmware. 1st 5Ghz channel kept dropping. Updated to the latest Version 1.4.3.88 and the problem vanished. Both 5Ghz channels are solid, and have been overnight.
OK, just put my R79860P with v.88 loaded and factory reset and setup from scratch online connected to a CAX80 in modem mode. Traffic Meter enabled. Armor, Circle and QoS disabled.
Wired speeds are good:
Also onboard Speed Test app seems to be fixed working now:
Will also monitor for DNS issues. I'm using default ISP detected DNS addresses.
fwiw, My DNS errors came back so it's back to manually assigning them. Argggh.
Were you using custom DNS or ISP auto detected DNS?
Have you tried enabling IPv6 on the router?

Changed to Auto ISP DNS and enabled IPv6 yesterday and just got a DNS probe error. I am going back to manually setting DNS on my client adapter properties to 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1 which solves the problem.
- Having the same issue on my r8000p from the latest firmware this month, I don’t know how other people got it to work
can confirm, the latest update this month (V1.4.3.88_1.3.50 - 04/13/2022) and the previous update (V1.4.2.84_1.3.42 - 10/08/2021) give the dns issue. reverted back to V1.4.1.68_1.3.28 - 01/08/2021 as its the latest stable firmware. turned off auto update. the only reason i'm still using netgear products because its routers support multiple devices sharing the same ports allowing all devices to have an open nat type, also I can't seem to find a modem without the puma 6 chipset manufacturer issue. monopolies suck.
