R8000P - DNS issues after firmware update
For some unknown reason, the automatic firmware update did not work on my R8000P router, and I found that I was one version behind at 1.4.1.68. So I manually updated to 1.4.2.84. After the update, ...
New firmware was released this past week (v88). Installed it this morning and so far so good, no DNS issues/sites not loading. Will continue to monitor throughout the weekend, but hopefully it's been addressed and we can go back to being secure and functional!
Sadly I have already bought a competitors product because I couldn't wait any longer. Its amazing how much relief I feel

Yes, I completely agree, I had struggled for months on DNS this issue and almost gave up on my NG.
There has to be a quicker way to engage with NG DEVELOPERS on prioritizing with getting these issues resolved. (Moderators, if you have any ideas or suggestions, that would be great!)
And a big Kudos to the expert moderators supporting this group, I appreciate all the help & solutions they offer!
Kerryland, Thank you for responding with your comments!
Subject: "Known DNS problems with solutions"
Summary: Several people reported DNS issued related to PROBE or non-response from websites
NG pending actions: NG engineer team is aware of the problem, they are working on it. It does take some time for development and testing. In meantime, users can try enabled IPv6 to see if this corrects the DNS problem or revert back FW to what was working.
Please be patient.
