Why isn't my computer on the internet?
12/07/23 Filed in: dns
The internet is off for one of my computers but the wifi signal looks good. Why am I not on the internet?
__________
In wifi settings, go to Advanced. Find DNS. Remove any DNS numbers and replace them with 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 You should then seen Apply. Let me know if that resolves it.
___________
Any idea what caused the problem?
Should I have seen DNS numbers?
___________
When there are no DNS numbers in settings, that means that the computer is relying on the router to do that work. Sometimes a simple restart will resolve the issue. Restarting sends a request to the router to start taking to the computer again. The numbers I provided above are very useful and generic DNS numbers directly from Google. I often just apply those instead of using the router's (therefore your ISP's DNS numbers.)
