Hiya.
Recently been trying to resolve DNS connection issues on my main PC.
Yesterday evening I changed the RT-AC86u's 'Connect to DNS server automatically' on the 'WAN' page to 'No' and I specified a couple of DNS servers. Then saved the page.
This stopped the internet from working. I was getting DNS issues when I tried to troubleshoot the PC connection - for the LAN adapter, plus all the other devices on the network stopped working.
I tried many things, including turning my VPN client config off, rebooting the router - several times, everything.
I could get to the router OK, but not anywhere outside.
Fortunately I had a saved router config from February, and reloading this got me back again.
I had to re-enter all my VPN client stuff, (as I have changed VPN since then), so it was a faff, but It was working.
This morning, I saved this new working setup to a new router config file and tried again.
Same result. Stuffed Internet connection.
But, I thought, thats OK, because I have this new saved config file.
Importing this - did not fix it . I had to go back to the old February file.
Has anyone else had issues with the WAN page on save, or reimported CFG files not working.???
Cheers.
