I have been having problems with my computer randomly not being able to connect to wifi. Note that I checked my phone wifi when this happened and it was fine. For some reason it seems to fix itself whenever I run the troubleshooter and it told me something was wrong with the DNS gateway. Any help would be appreciated. (I have updated my wireless network drivers)

  1. What is the make and model of the wireless router and the wireless adapter of the computer?
  2. Can you obtain the exact error message you're getting with regards to DNS?
  3. Do you have any other wireless devices in your home? Are multiple clients trying to access WiFi at the same time?
  4. Run a wireless survey using WiFi Analyzer from the Microsoft Store. Post screenshots of the 'Networks' and 'Analyze' tabs. In the case of the latter, include the graphical output for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Highlight your SSID.
  5. List the WiFi settings that you use on the wireless router. Exclude any passwords.
