Error DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN after update to V1.0.1.70_1.0.44 of firmware
Hi all, Ever since I have updated my AC1750 R6400 router every other site I try to open gives a DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error. If I refresh (F5), the website in question usually opens. It's a bi...

Is that accurate? R6400[v1] or R6400v2? Look for "Model" on the
product label. Firmware versions (before, after)?
If the new firmware causes problems, then I'd consider reverting to
the older firmware.
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:
> Could it be that something went wrong with the firmware update? [...]
More likely, the newer firmware has more/different bugs.

Configuring the R6400[vX] as a wireless access point might help.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read.
Look for a topic like "Use the Router as a Wireless Access Point".
Whether that's a good idea might depend on which router features of
the R6400[vX] you actually use. (And what the Experia Box v10A lacks.)

Thanks, antinode. Yes, that's correct. The situation is worse than I initially thought. Pages are only half loaded etc. So I'm going to revert to a previous version.
The Arcadyan (Experia) is very much lacking in features, so I'd like to continue to use the Netgear router for specific configurations.
