| Motorola NVG510 DNS Timeouts, Any New Firmware Fixes? Well when I got the $43.00 to $46.00 cost increase notice effective May on my old DSL 6MB service (which I presume will be turned down eventually) and, saw that I now have U-Verse HSI available, I decided to submit my order for the 6MB U-Verse Service and the Motorola NVG510 Gateway is being shipped to me.
Been reading about the DNS timeout problem on this unit and since most articles about the problem date back to at least April, 2012, I was wondering if any firmware fixes had been released since then for this unit..
I've always hardcoded the DNS addresses on my computers anyway, so from what I've read, this is a good fix for the NVS510 DNS timeouts.
Would like to hear any new info about this problem. Will post the firmware level being shipped once I get the unit scheduled to be delivered next Monday.
thanks in advance....

The NVG510 that was installed in the apartment manager's office a couple of weeks ago also had firmware version 9.0.6h2d21
I setup their secondary router (which has their office network behind it) to use the AT&T AnyCast DNS servers 68.94.156.1 and 68.94.157.1, and that router's WAN is also setup for only IPv4. I did the same thing for the wireless link I use to maintain their network (which I also use as a backup and diagnostic connection).
The guest WiFi users are setup to use the NVG510 as the WiFi AP and DNS forwarder, and AT&T's 6rd IPv6 implementation is enabled. I have not heard any complaints about DNS problems from those users. However, any complaints would be made to the apartment manager and relayed to me, so perhaps I am just happily in the dark. When the outdoor pool season starts, and all the sunbathers start using their cell phones and tablets on the WiFi connection, that is when I will know if there is still a DNS relay problem in the current NVG510 firmware.
