Restart Router and Device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many small connection problems are solved with a quick restart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Change DNS Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use trusted DNS addresses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Google DNS: <code>8.8.8.8<\/code> and <code>8.8.4.4<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cloudflare DNS: <code>1.1.1.1<\/code> and <code>1.0.0.1<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Clear DNS Cache<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On Windows, open Command Prompt and type:<br><code>ipconfig \/flushdns<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Also clear browser cache.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Check Security Software<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn off antivirus or firewall for a short test. If it works, add an exception for DNS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Try a Different Network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use mobile hotspot or another Wi-Fi. If it works there, your main network has the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Contact Hosting Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If nothing helps, it may be a server-side problem.
