Switched to my own Router, Every few hours getting a DNS error

I was previously using the Fios Quantum Gateway router and I just switched to the Netgear AC1200 (R6230). 

 

I followed the directions in this thread, my internet is just connected through ethernet.

 

My internet will work fine for a handful of hours, but then eventually I start getting a DNS error. When I get the DNS error, the network icon in the Windows system tray in the bottom right corner displays as if everything is normal and says that I still have internet access but when I try to load any webpage, chrome fails to load the webpage and gives me a message that says "server ip address could not be found."

 

When I run the Windows diagnostic tool, it says that the DNS server is not responding. Here's a screenshot of the Windows Diagnostic results. When I restart my router, everything works fine for some hours but then eventually I get the DNS error again. This has been happening for the past 2 or 3 days since I switched to my new router. Today I know I restarted my Router around 2pm and then I think around 11pm or 12am I started getting the DNS error again. Restarting my router fixed it, but it seems like that's a temporary fix and I'm not sure what the real issue is. 

 

Any help is much appreciated, thank you.
