My unit's DNS lookup functionality seems to keep randomly dying. It's fine for a while (1-3 days) and then I need to restart it or some random hostnames won't resolve.
For instance, right now it's out.reddit.com. A web tool resolves it fine and it's clearly operational. The two DNS servers specified in the modem's status page are also responding to pings.
I just restarted and it's working again - for now.
Anyone else having issues with this, or know how to resolve it? I wish I could use my asus ADSL2+ router, that thing was super reliable :(
