RBR850 frequently issuing DNS REFUSED responses
Had the RBK852 now for just over a month, and have an issue I'll open a support ticket for. Wondered though if others have been experiencing anything similar. Basically and since day 1 after put...
Good Luck. This issue is resolved by the beta thats available.
I believe telnet was removed in some recent FW updates. Even for beta testers. :smileyfrustrated:
Glad the work around helps.
I too have experienced DNS timeouts...not frequent but enough to notice its a resolver issue. The routers recursive server is buggy. Wonder if I can telnet in and install powerdns recursive instead. It sucks that the we can't set what DNS servers DHCP hands out. I'm not about to manually set DNS servers on all my devices.
What version of FW do you have loaded?
I'm using v32 and have no seen any DNS issues thus far. Using Auto DNS detect on the RBR which sees my ISP DNS.
You might try setting manual DNS addresses to something else like 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 on the RBR to see if this maybe a ISP DNS issue. Not th first time ISP DNS has causes problems.

This is something that has not happened or noticed before i switched to Orbi. The orbi is definitely suspect.
I would contact NG support and ask them for help and information about this. Possible some thing in FW that may be faulty with particular ISP services. Which I may not be seeing with my ISP.
