Are you experiencing issues caused by the Domain Name Server? If yes, then you will learn everything you need to know regarding how to fix the DNS server not responding issue. If you find that the server has some kind of problem or the addresses have become outdated, then you will not be able to open a particular website or a group of web pages even if you are connected to the internet.
The DNS issue can be resolved by troubleshooting the present connection, disabling extra connections, resetting the router, and flushing the DNS cache. So, let's get started with the solutions that you need to apply to fix this issue.
Troubleshooting-
If you are able to connect other devices at home to the network, then that means there is some problem with the primary device that you were trying to connect and the problem isn't occurring because of the router.
If you are not able to connect with another device, then there may or may not be an issue with the router. If you are having issues with a particular website, then you can access that site using mobile data. If you are not able to access the website, then that means the website is the cause of the problem.
Another way to check DNS connection is to use a different internet browser. You can use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox and try to connect to the internet.
In case you still encounter issues, then that means browser issues weren't leading to DNS server not responding issues. In case the problem gets fixed by using another internet browser, then uninstall and reinstall the browser that you were using earlier.
By performing this method, your router's cache will get cleared and all your DNS issues will get resolved.
Below are the steps that you need to carry out to perform a power cycle.
Step 1: Disconnect the power cable of your router and modem.
Step 2: Let your router and modem remain disconnected for 30 seconds.
Step 3: Reconnect your modem device and wait for it to come online.
If you are still not able to connect to the internet by using an ethernet connection, then it is highly likely that the problem resides in your router and you must reset it.
There is also a chance that there is some issue with the DNS that is leading to this problem.
Below are the simple steps that you need to follow in order to disable the extra connection.
