DNS not found

[Pepi28]

Hi guys,

A few weeks ago i started getting a problem where when i open (type in url and hit enter) a website, let's say youtube, facebook or sometimes even google i get an error saying "DNS of the server of website not found". I use google chrome which is set in Dutch so the translation might not be 100% accurate. This also happens in other browsers and on my laptop as well as on my PC. I live in a student building where i get an ethernet cable to my room coming from a splitter, and then i use that ethernet cable for my own personal router. As the problem is persistent over both of my computers, i ruled them out as being the issue. 

Google is your friend in these situations, but i really got no where. Does someone have a clue of what the hell is going on, it's really annoying to constantly have to reload pagea about 10 times until the DNS error message goes away.

Thanks in advance!

try setting your dns servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in control panel

Done. Will let you know if the issue comes up again!

If that doens't help, could be a router/modem issue.  Could need a update or reset, otherwise the ISP could be contacted for troubleshooting. Can you switch the splitter and check all lines and cables? Tenminste als je daar toegang toe hebt

Toegang heb ik sws  but yeah router is running on it's latest update, if the problem still persists i will reset it and then look further into it depending on the outcome.

@Electronics Wizardy @Gonio issue hasn't happened since i set the DNS servers, so for now i'll assume it's solved. Thanks guys!
