of course - I hope I didn’t suggest the error was caused by your script / I’m sure the error is on my part…
Forgive me, but where can I check to see that my DNS settings are correct?
Within the GL GUI there are several places.
Network > DNS for example. Or within the WAN interface.
I have “manual” selected with the Google dns servers selected…
btw, I’m accessing this router from a distance through Tailscale… would that matter?
In that case, I can’t really help you, since these issues are serious, and I don’t know how you configured your router. By default, DNS is working, so it must be something that you changed.
Maybe, not sure. I don’t use Tailscale at all.
During the update Tailscale will be stopped as well - so it’s advised to use another method of connecting.
ok - Thank You, for your input
sorry - 1 more question: I ssh into the router using Terminal and then perform your script, correct?
Or is it done through Luci?
^+ this one. But ofc it could fail - in that case tailscale might stop.
yes - it’s a new router / i did nothing more than activate Tailscale…
fyi, in case this helps you with some insight:

Nope, does not help.
Your DNS server is broken, but I don’t know how to troubleshoot this.
Restarting won’t solve the problem, I guess, but it’s worth a try.
Maybe try changing from Google DNS to 9.9.9.9 for testing.
yes, for sure, I have a DNS problem - - from Luci:
ping: bad address ‘google.com’
I’m sorry - i can delete this whole string / I don’t want to hijack this thread with my particular issue… but Thank You, for your help…!!!
Last question on this topic / I have this GL-AXT in “repeater” mode - getting service from a hotel WIFI… could that possibly cause a DNS issue?
Indeed, that causes trouble.
ok - - thank you again - - very useful info
But to be honest, it seems to be some kind of bug. I will try to understand what’s happening and open a bug report here later.
well, I can tell you that I have 2 of the same device / both are connected in Repeater mode… use them to communicate “LAN - to - LAN” … and they work very well using Tailscale… I just wanted to update that software… but could not… 
thank you for your input, tho
It IS rather odd, tho… of course, I’m connected to the internet through this GL-AXT device - I have great connectivity… It’s a new router / I didn’t make any real changes in configs… happy to let GL-Inet remote into it, if it were to help…
As the same issue/error exists on both routers, I kind of think it may be a bug… can you tell me how I can open up an issue with the Help Desk?
ahhh - - - yes, there may be a bug…
OK - Progress…
I updated to the latest Beta firmware, and that seemed to fix the DNS issue… however your script returns the following error:

This script only works on arm64 architecture.

HOWEVER:
With the Updated Firmware now uname returns this:
Here’s a screenshot from Luci:
So - Do you, by chance, have a script that will update Tailscale for the ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) Architecture?
I will look into this.

Thank you very much - - and thank you for helping me identify the problem - - I thought I was going bananas…!
