Intermittent DNS Errors and WiFi Issues
I have had the Orbi AX6000 for a few months now. While there are many things I love about it (great wifi coverage, great speed, looks nice, software, ease of setup, etc.), there are two very frustra...

Some DNS issues come from the ISP side. I would make contact with the ISP to see if they are noticing anything. Make changes on the Orbi RBR for custom DNS addresses as well to see if this changes anything.
I don't see any DNS issues with mine however I'm on a different ISP and use a different modem.
Thanks FURRYe38 , I actually shifted back to my old Nighthawk to see if it was something with my ISP or my network setup, and I didn't see any of the same DNS errors (just much less WiFi coverage). I also wanted to get it back up and running and using as similar a router build as possible for the Orbi. I did that, and am still having the same DNS issues (and now the dropped wifi issues). Thanks for the thought though!
