Let’s go a lil’more ‘lower level’:

Can you SSH into your Mango? There’s a piece of software we can run from the command line called drill. It’s used to troubleshoot DNS resolution. That this problem is only happening on the Mango is quite something else. I’d like to chk what’s going on w/ the Mango’s DNS service.

  • opkg update; opkg install drill
  • drill +short $yourAsusDDNS

Example:

root@flint:~# drill +short quad9.net
