Unable to connect to the update server.

[arwnd]

RT-AC68U. I noticed my router hasn't been showing me firmware updates for a few months. When I checked manually from the update page it returned an error: "Unable to connect to the update server."

I manually updated to the latest firmware, and when I pressed Check Update it still won't connect with the message: "Temporarily unable to get the latest firmware information. Please try again later."

I'm not sure if this is a server issue or something on my side, but I haven't been getting update notifications since 384.13. I installed amtm and diversion ad blocker in December, but disabling diversion didn't make a difference.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Check your WAN/DNS configuration, and make sure you don't block access to Cloudflare.

I haven't changed any settings, everything is default. Is there somewhere I can add cloudflare so it doesn't get blocked?

I think the problem is that you aren't using any DNS server (?)
Just put your DNS server to auto or make it manually and fill the DNS server 1 and 2 to one of your needs.
Use cloudflare for example 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

I usually have adguard dns servers there: 176.103.130.130 and 176.103.130.131, I disabled to see if it would work. I tried using the cloudflare dns and google dns, but still getting the same check update error.
