After installing and upgrading FW on my nighthawk X6, I consistently get DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN errors. I tried setting to google dns resolution (8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4), but still encountered the error.

I also tried flushing the dns cache on my client devices.

I also tried clearing cookies, browser cache in chrome.

I then went back to the get DNS from ISP.

I also tried going to the router admin and turning the ipV6 connection type from Disabled to 6to4Tunnel (which I saw in another community post worked for them)-- but did not work for me.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Furrye38 and nnagreg. I believe my problem has gone away by enabling ipV6 (set to 6to4 Tunnel)

    Ok. So this is still a bug. Shouldn't need to enable IPv6. 

    Thanks for letting us know.
