R8500 Latest Firmware Version V1.0.2.154 Broke DNS!
Hello, the latest firmware version V1.0.2.154 for the R8500 router appears to have broken DNS! I have to refresh pages multiple times to get them to load. Attached is the most common error. DNS_PR...
I also tried firmware R8500-V1.0.2.156_1.0.105 today (Nov 6 2021). Same issue : (
Rollback to R8500-V1.0.2.144_1.0.99 that was released January 2021.
Oh, just asked on a different thread if R8500-V1.0.2.156_1.0.105 had fixed the DNS bug, but I see not. Unbelievable.
Are any of the posters on this thread having success with version 156 with respect to this error? That is, does v156 fix this DNS issue?
V1.0.2.156 (latest as of 12/20/2021) did not resolve the issue. It addressed many DNS issues, but websites that use certain types of SSO, INCLUDING NETGEAR!!! don't load properly the first time. The page has to be loaded multiple times and only once loaded and in the cache does it work. As soon as the cache is cleared it repeats the issue.
