Strange technical issue with my internet
General Tech SupportHey guys, I’ve been having a weird issue with my laptop for a while now and I’ve tried everything to fix it, but nothing worked. I thought maybe one of you has dealt with this before.
The Problem: The internet is connected and the Wi-Fi is on, but whenever I try to search on Google or open any website, there’s no response at all. When I run the Troubleshooter, it says: "The DNS server isn't responding."
Solutions I’ve tried (that didn’t work):
Manually changed the DNS to (Google DNS 8.8.8.8) and (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1).
Performed a full Network Reset.
Used Command Prompt (CMD) as admin and ran (flushdns, release, renew, winsock reset).
Restarted both my laptop and the router multiple times.
The strange thing is, every time I think the problem is fixed and try to search for something on Google, it fails again even though it shows I'm connected. Any other ideas I could try? Could it be something with the router settings or the ISP itself?
