I don’t know if this is isolated to me or my location but I ran into a frustrating Internet problem this morning.
Zero Internet connectivity that I couldn’t fix by the usual update/reboot of modem, router & devices. Everything appeared up and running based on LEDs and the internal network was OK. My ISP (Spectrum) reported no outages in my area.
Then I remembered that I’d changed DNS settings on my router to OpenDNS from the default (ISP-provided). I did that a while ago and all seemed well until today.
Logging back in to my router as administrator and reverting DNS settings fixed things. Quite disconcerting to lose Internet access during a pandemic!
If I hadn’t remembered my prior DNS change I’d still be scratching my head (if I could find my.head.org).
