Internet issues after move

[Coosey]

Hey everyone, I've recently moved into a new apartment and along with that came some weird internet issues that me and my roommates (+ my very tech smart father) are stumped with. First id like to state it is only my pc out of the 3 in the apartment having this issue. After a while of perfectly fine connection on Ethernet it'll randomly cut out only my communication apps (IE discord, slack, Work phone app) and only a restart will fix the issue. my other issue is similar, after a while of surfing the web or gaming my internet will cut out and not be able to resolve host name (I will be able to ping 1.1.1.1 with perfect ping but cmd fails to ping google.com or any other site) I'd also like to state that WiFi is working perfectly fine and never has these issues.

 

 

The solutions ive tried:

- countless cmd commmands such as ipconfig /flushdns, netsh winsock reset etc etc.

- buying a new ethernet cable

- removing my switch and hardwiring my pc directly into the router

- reinstalling network drivers

 

I am completely out of ideas and am chalking it up to a hardware issue (even though my ethernet connection before i moved was perfectly fine with 0 interruptions) if anybody has any ideas, I'm desperate for a solution at this point.

did you go into tcp config on your nic and set DNS to auto?.  sounds like it's a dns server set you can't access

in worst case.. when the router is installed.. router should be your dns. and gateway should be same ip so set gateway ip as dns.

it's still a dns issue.. as you state, you can ping 1.1.1.1 but no name resolutions.. 

 

set your dns to 8.8.8.8 and see if that helps.

Gotcha ive just set it to manual and to 8.8.8.8, Should i have the "DNS over HTTPS" setting turned on or off? or does it not matter?

try first without. then with..  you might have to restart the stack.. aka reboot to see a difference.
