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 :(

 Have you tried turning off the DNS proxy setting?
