DNS>PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error since latest update
Model R6400, firmware v1.0.1.74_1.0.48, Windows 10, ethernet connection Since I updated the firmware, I have been getting DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN errors when I open up browsers and go to webpage...
I own both a r6400v2 and r6700v3, both updated to the latest firmware recently. Each router is on a completely different ISP (comcast and frontier) but each router exhibited the same intermittent DNS errors 0101 = Reply code: Refused (5) . There is little pattern to what is refused and why, it seems to be random causing web pages to be blank (when css files are not resolved etc). Basically making the internet unusable.
I backed both devices to previous firmware versions R6700v3-V1.0.4.106_10.0.80 and R6400v2-V1.0.4.106_10.0.80 which seems to have solved the problems. So that means unless netgear fixes these issues we hit the wall on updates.
justanguser2 I just sat down to use the computer for the first time today. NOTHING would load. So, once again I flushed the DNS and reset Winsock and it is working again. But if it's like the past few days, over time, it will deteriorate and I'll have to flush again. Clearly, this isn't right. I wonder how long we have to wait for another firmware update. I'm ready to just buy a new router. They aren't that expensive.
