DNS server? [View all]
I have an AT&T DSL internet connection. I'm gonna call them tomorrow, but I thought I'd throw it out here 1st...On random occasions, I can't get online. I get messages like:
"DNS server not responding" or "DNS-bad configuration", etc...
Our 2 computers, both Dell desktops running Windows 10, are networked with a NETGEAR router that is about 9 yrs old... I can turn the router off and back on, and the problem is resolved; until the next random occurrence... It doesn't seem to matter what time of the day it is, or how many tabs I have open. Someone at work suggested that the router needs to be either updated or replaced with a new one. I have no idea how I would go about "updating" the router... I welcome any and all suggestions!
