Terry, Is it possible that Netgear have shut down their update servers
for an EOL product and this has nothing to do with DNS or your Router???

Looking at this review of the Router, it say there an option to setup
an IPV6 pinhole which would suggest that the router does have IPV6
capability, not sure if there anyway you can check further on the router

That's a useful looking document.
Its a long article, but half way through under settings and Options
it lists out various options including the IPV6 option
Neither of the failing devices are using IPV6.
In a video I found, the host said that they were not able to set DNS
address on the router and you would need to do then on the devices
(2min 40 seconds in) themselves
DHCP does that and set the DNS entry to point at the router. Other DNS
Servers can be added, but I suspect that wouldn't survive a reboot.
Anyway. I tried adding 8.8.8.8 and it didn't work.

Everything helps.
