Windows 10: Webpages aren't loading but ping works

Whenever I try to load a webpage in any browser, it gives the message "This site can't be reached: the webpage at ___ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_NO_SUPPORTED_PROXIES"; however, using ping gives responses and the WiFi icon shows five bars. Additionally, using Firefox from WSL2 works. This is not a network issue, as other devices on the same network can load pages, and the error still persists even when switching to a different network. I've tried restarting, resetting the network adapters through Settings, and using netsh and ipconfig. T

Randomly failing to load webpages?

Since I moved to the Netgear router, I have yet to fail to load a webpage (odd, I don't remember always having this issue with my DD-WRT box). Next time it fails, I'll try ping. I have yet to have ping fail to resolve the DNS, though.

I just remembered that if I follow a link that takes me to the failed to load page, I can try refreshing the page all day and it will fail every time. I have to go back to the page that had the link, and click on the link again for it to work.

Do the webpages fail to load when you are directly connected?

Also, with the normal network setup, can you ping an internet IP address (Google, or a ventrilo server or such), bypassing the DNS?

Break it down piece by piece and just eliminate working parts.

Is this the only computer on the network having issues? Double check your PC is getting the proper DNS too, roadrunner/Comcast DHCP likes to override gateway DNS settings when you acquire an IP.

Pretty sure it was the router, the netgear one is working fine. Haven't failed to load a webpage yet.
