New Around Here
Moved into a new house, Comcast is the only ISP option -- ever since moving in I've had constant, recurring DNS_PROBE_FINISHED-NXDOMAIN errors when browsing the internet. It happens anywhere from 2-5x a day and is highly frustrating.
The DNS drops off for all devices on the LAN simultaneously. At first I thought I needed to replace my router, so I swapped my Netgear out for the RT-N66U as it seemed highly reliable.
Nonetheless, the constant DNS errors remain. The RT-N66U has a really good log though, so perhaps someone can look at this and tell me what exactly is going on. This log is from right when the DNS dropped out at around 1:39PM today:
I suspect the issue is all on Comcast, perhaps a result of DNS hijacking or something. I've tried all sorts of things -- trying out a number of alternative DNS servers, changing the channel on my 2.4 ghz network, using static IPs on the LAN -- I just don't really know what to do at this stage.
If anyone can make sense of that log and offer some suggestions I'd appreciate it. Try to explain in layman's terms as I'm in no way an expert on this stuff
