Internet issues on Monterey

Anyone else having Internet issues on macOS Monterey? I installed it last night and this morning I can only stay connected to the Internet for about 5-10 minutes before Safari gives a DNS issue. I've switched from using Google DNS to my ISP one, issue still persists. Flushed the DNS cache, issue still persists. Deleted all known networks, issue still persists.

Rebooting is the only way I can get Internet reconnected which is annoying every 10 minutes! was this OS not tested?????

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.0

Well the issue only happened after the Monterey update and only affects the only Mac that’s been updated to Monterey so you can see why I’d think that might be the issue.

As mentioned in my post only rebooting the Mac fixes the issue. Restarting just the browser does nothing. Nor does flushing the DNS cache, swapping to a different network, changing from wired to wireless, changing DNS from Google to ISP or trying a different browser. I can browse the Internet on Safari for about 10 minutes then Safari presents a DNS error that it’s not able to resolve the address. This issue also is present if I use Chrome, Edge or Brave browsers. So I think I’ve tried plenty of things to allow me to “draw the conclusion” that the issue has been caused by Monterey.
