I am still seeing it on 14.0.1 unfortunately.


It seems it is related to DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DoT). I am not sure if the Netgear Nighthawk RAX200 or ASUS ZenWiFi AX Tri-Band supports either of them. It would be nice if Apple got back in the router business. The Airports were just so easy to set up and kept up to date.
