DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN errors on RBR850
So I've noticed that when I use my Orbi in router mode, I get a lot of DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN errors in chrome. The error flashes for a bout a second and then the page loads. This happens a coup...

Yes, this has been already mentioned in the other threads. Using on device DNS configuration vs auto detect by the device thus getting a 192.168.1.1 address which by NG design defaults to router DNS addresss since NG uses this as there DNS proxy which can't be bypassed unless, you have done, input manual DNS on to your devices.
IF your seeing better results with this configuration, please let NG know about this.

Well, setting the DNS in windows definitely seems to work. Obviously not a full solution, but confirms that there's an issue with Orbi's handling of DNS.

Someting to let NG know about. Hopefully they can fix this soon. Not much else we can do here in the forums.
Some can try this work around as well:
