This sounds like a problem I had, Try this:
Go to into routeradmin pages go to advanced home and note the dns entries.
Go to windows control panel and click on ‘Network and sharing centre’
Click ‘change adaptor settings’. DoubleClick the ethernet/wifi adaptor and click properties,
highlight Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4) click properties:
Click ‘use the following DNS server address’ and enter dns numbers in the ‘preferred dns server’ and alternative server boxes.
It seems that Netgear may have somehow screwed up the dns settings as well as removing the remote settings page.
Hope this helps

Also have this error, getting DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE after the firmware upgrade. It will reload okay but this is annoying and can make some logins fail.
I had just gone back to the V6400v2 after putting it in the corner for having other issues on a previous firmware.
Changing the DNS to use Cloudfare is a good workaround but I am waiting for a solution from NetGear.
With WFH and school kids there are 5 laptop/computers and we each use 3-4 browsers! First world problem, I know.

Rolling back firmware to a version with security flaws is not a fix. Switching to a new vendor is not a fix. Netgear needs to fix. Its not rocket science.
