You can set something like Google DNS easily enough as a test:
Windows 11/10:
- Go to Settings->Network and Internet.
- Under here choose the type of connection you are using, WiFi, or Ethernet.
- Once chosen, then go to Hardware Properties (for WiFi). If you click on Ethernet, it should take you to the same page. Look for DNS Server Assignment.
- Click “Edit” change Automatic to Manual, turn on IP4, then enter 8.8.8.8 for Preferred DNS. Click Save.
Alternate method:
- Hit Windows key and R. Type in Control and run it.
- Go to Network and Internet.
- Go to Network and Sharing Center.
- Click Change Adapter Settings.
- Find the connection you are using. Double Click it.
- Go to Properties at the bottom left.
- Look for Internet Protocol Version 4. Double click that.
- Where it says Obtain DNS automatically, change that to “Use the following DNS server address”.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 into the location. You may add 8.8.4.4 to the second box if you wish.
-For everyone having connection issues of various types: UPDATE 6-9-24
