This was the first thing we did. We started using public DNS servers such as 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.2.2. We did have some errors one week using these DNS server, but as of this week, there has been no problems. I am continually monitoring the network.

No, there has been no changes to any of the policies nor has there been updates in the version. If there had been, wouldn't the result be more wide spread and not intermittent?

We only use Meraki on this network. When the error had occurred, it only affected the access points (MR52, MR56). As of this week, the Bad DNS error has not returned. We are still using 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.2.2 as the DNS for the for all WiFi DHCP. I will try 8.8.4.4. and 1.1.1.1 in the scenario that the error comes back. This way I can cross reference the outcomes. Thank you for your input, Ryan!

Clients on our wireless network has been experiencing an issue where they are not able to go out onto the internet due to a DNS error. On the Connectivity timeline reads "Disabled gateway (bad DNS)". At first we thought this meant our local DNS had some issue, but upon changing the DHCP settings of the wireless network to use Google's DNS (8.8.8.8), the error messages still read the same. What could be the cause of this intermittent problem? Note: outages last around 12 minutes and may occur between 1 to 4 times within 24 hours.
