    So I'm a Verizon FIOS Quantum subscriber. I can easily change to Google's DNS in the Ethernet network adapter, but need I change it in the G-1100 router also?

  2. DNS problems with router

    A couple suggestions I have for you:

    Update the firmware on the router. Maybe it's getting into a badstate, and a firmware update might fix it. Or if you're comfortable with it, install a custom firmware like dd-wrt. Just make sure its supported on your router first.

    Change your DNS to: 8.8.8.8, 4.2.2.1. Might help.

    If none of these work, maybe statically set your DNS on your PS3/PC to the IPs you listed, taking the router out of the lookup procedure.

    Last option, is look for a new router.

  3. Change DNS server sttings

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I’ll certainly help you with this.

    When exactly do you get this error?

    Try the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Clear the DNS (Domain Name System) cache.

    • Press Windows key + X
    • Click on the Command prompt(Admin)
    • At the command prompt, type ipconfig /flushdns and press
      Enter.

    Method 2:

    Step 1:

    • Connect to your router (by typing 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in the address bar) and log in. Check your user manual or documentation if you do not know the log-in credentials.
    • Make sure you are in the Setup ->Basic Setup category.
    • Scroll down until you see 'DHCP Server' - if it is disabled, select 'Enable'.
    • Enable DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If you want, you can change the number that the DHCP IP assigning starts (this is optional).
    • Use the DNS (Domain Name System) servers provided to you by your
      ISP (Internet Service Provider). There are many DNS servers out there. It's best to use your ISP's if possible.
    • Scroll down and click 'Save Settings'.
    Step 2:

    • Press Windows + X and click on Control Panel.
    • Go to Networking and sharing center and then click on
      Change adapter settings
      .
    • Right click on Local Area Connection and choose
      Properties
      .
    • Highlight Internet Protocol Version 6 and click on
      Properties
      .
    • Choose Obtain DNS server address automatically and press
      Ok.
    • Choose Obtain IP address automatically.
    • Repeat the steps for Internet Protocol version 4 as well.
    • Test the issue.

    Hope this helps you. Keep us posted with the status of the issue to assist you further.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    To troubleshoot your issue, we suggest that you try one or more of the following methods.

    Method 1: Restart the router

    Remove the power cord from the router. After all lights on the router have gone out, wait at least 10 seconds, and then reconnect the power cord to the router.

    Configure the TCP/IP settings. To do this, follow these steps:

    • Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    • Click View network status and tasks under Networking and Internet.
    • Click Change adapter settings.
    • Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
    • Select Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and then click Properties.
    • Select Obtain an IPv6 address automatically, select Obtain DNS servers address automatically, and then click OK.
    • Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click Properties.
    • Select Obtain an IP address automatically, select Obtain DNS servers address automatically, and then click OK.
    Method 3: Use the Ipconfig command-line tool

    Use the Ipconfig command-line tool. To do this, follow these steps:

    • Click Start, type command prompt in the Search Programs and files box, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
    • At the command prompt, type the following commands. Press Enter after each command.
    ipconfig /flushdns

    ipconfig /registerdns
