Vigor 2830n losing connection to dns was created by philguk
Since mid March I've had a strange recurring problem
Every so often, as much as once or twice a day, my LAN seems to lose access to WHATEVER dns is specified in the router
I can pin 8.8.8.8, for example, butwww.google.co.uk doesn't resolve to an IP address
Rebooting the router puts things right - until it happens again
Draytek have suggested upgrading the router firmware, but I wondered if anyone else had experienced the same problem?
Thanks

Unfortunately it's always been set that way
Doesn't seem to help

Go to Diagnostics > DNS Cache Table, tick the "When an entry's TTL is larger than" tickbox and set the timer setting there to 5s, click OK. that might help?
Alternatively, DoS defense's UDP flood defense is another likely cause for that to happen
