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 webpages. Sometimes, after 2 seconds, the webpage will load, but sometimes I have to hit the reload button repeatedly, and sometimes nothing works. It's inconsistent. I also have two apps, weather and radar, that sometimes load and sometimes don't.
I have:
Reset/flushed DNS
Reset Winsock
Turned off the computer
Rebooted the modem
Rebooted the router
Restarted the computer
Still getting the error. Is it possible to update again, maybe something didn't go right the first time? Is it possible to use a prior firmware version that did work? Any other suggestions?

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Downloads. (For older versions, under Firmware and Software
Downloads, look for "View Previous Versions".) Find the kit(s).
Download the kit(s) you want. Read the "Release Notes" file for
instructions. (In the User Manual, look for "firmware", and,
especially, for a topic like "Manually Upload Firmware to the Router".)
When that fails because of a deficient User Manual, try:

Re: DNS>PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error since latest update
@antinode Thannk you so much for putting me in the right direction. I downloaded and installed the previous version 1.0.45. At frist, I was getting the same errors, then realized, I probably have to restart the computer. After I did that, everything is working just fine....so far. Fingers crossed! Now, I just wait for the next firmware update and hope it will behave.

Unfortunately, I spoke too soon.....
Not sure where to go from here....I downloaded and installed the previous firmware, which booted the router, then I restarted the computer, and it seemed to be ok for a few minutes and then the errors started all over again. Factory reset??? Ugh.

Re: DNS>PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error since latest update
I've shut down for the night, so I can't check until tomorrow.
But I did flush DNS and reset winsock again and all worked fine... For about 15 minutes, then it started all over again.
Haven't tried using a different DNS service. It should work with what I've been using for years, no?

Re: DNS>PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error since latest update
Unfortunately, it didn't fix my problem, although it's better. Most web pages load, though some get the error and within 2-3 seconds, will then load. Some graphic intensive websites end up looking wonky or the graphics won't load until I hit reload several times.
And as you say, it's not consistent. Everything works for a few minutes, then nothing loads, then everything loads with a delay.
Frustrating as I do some streaming broadcasts and this is making it impossible and glitchy.

Re: DNS>PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error since latest update
@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.

Re: DNS>PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error since latest update
Forgot to mention Firmware Version 1.0.4.118 is the firmware version that caused my issues with DNS on these two models. And yes both 6400 and 6700 downloads page apparently release the same versions of firmware on both models because they are pretty much identical hardware except for age. I run wireshark and capture port 53 packets to confirm DNS responses were fixed (cannot rely on browsers).

R8300 Firmware Version V1.0.2.154 AUTO ISP DNS Settings
Netgear broke something with this release. Switching to cloudflare DNS fixes issue. This router worked flawlessly for almost 2 years until this release.

Confused because my R6400 latest update is as I stated in the original post, 1.0.4.48

Cloudfare DNS is 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 I switch them on each client. Pain in the ass. Netgear must fix or time to move away from NETGEAR.

I have really liked Netgear. Other routers I've had had many more problems and needed replacing every couple of years.

Rolling back to an older fw version with security flaws is not "solved".

Re: DNS>PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error since latest update
And it didn't work for me. Still getting the same error.
Another question and please don't laugh.. If I buy a new router, not Netgear, give it the same SSID and password, will all my currently connected devices automatically connect to the new router?

Roling back worked for me. Have you rebooted, or on your computer:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew

It should.
How many clients on you network. if you assign DNS manually, it will work. but if you have lot of clients then it sucks.

Thank you! Releasing and renewing seems to have made it better. For the most part, most webpages will load, but still getting the nxdomain error on some, but reloading will bring up the webpage.
Annnnddddd.......after using the internet for 15 minutes, it's back to getting the nxdomain again on more websites.
"How many clients on you network. "
Clients?

Re: DNS>PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error since latest update
How much work to change the DNS settings on each. Can you easily change the DNS on the smart devices?
