Error DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN after update to V1.0.1.70_1.0.44 of firmware

You did well to make that move. Well done. A lot of people don't.
Changing ISP is just one event that needs a reset of the router. Your experience suggests that running the wizard achieves the same thing as a reset.
The old service, or an old modem, will create various settings on your router. Change the stuff in front of it, and you need to wipe out those settings and create new ones for the new network.
