    Forced to manually set DNS - problem only on Windows 10


    I have read about this problem before but I am wondering if there is a solution rather than this workaround. All other devices on the LAN have no problems just my Windows machine, both Wi-fi and ethernet have the same problem.

    So I had to manually set a DNS, this just happened after an update, that didn't involve any network card, I don't know if it's just a coincidence the update. I am on 1909.

    Windows 10 DNS leak

    No, went with a different 3rd party suggestion. Works better. I'm reliant on others for my tech needs that way.

    Windows 10 DNS leak

    Did you just manually set your DNS server to google DNS or similar?

    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.
