DNS problems
How do you have a static IP, but dynamic DNS? When static IP is selected, you cannot change the DNS option.
I just started having problems where my DNS would fail until I re-appliled the current settings in the router. I currently have a static IP and DNS server set, but would be willing to switch to automatic DNS and manage it locally.
Is anyone else having problems with DNS recently? It's not even all sites when it happens at first, but seems to start with Google, so it seems like a part of the DNS being lost. I would expect this is a DNS issue, except I've tried different DNS servers, and resetting the page always fixes it.

If they persist, I appreciate the suggestion. Since I was unwilling to pay for product support beyond the short warranty period, I'm not sure they would be willing to help me.
Good luck. This issue coupled with faulty firmware has finally gotten the NG moderators here involved. Hopefully things will settle down for you and others soon.

Thank you for the response. I had already done A, B, and F. I did both C options to see if that helps. D & E seem insane for an off the shelf of a commercial, user-friendly router.
It's a strange juxtaposition, where so many basic features and support are paywalled, but fixes seem to require shell level skills to conduct.

This is what I did as a temporary workaround:
