    DNS malfunction after connecting to wifi


    Everytime I connect to a wifi, it takes forever for DNS to start working (like up to 30 minutes...).

    I can ping ip addresses. But cannot go to websites (dns).

    "ipconfig /flushdns" does not help. It also takes quite long for that command to finish (like 2 minutes).

    What can I try ?

    Can updating NIC's driver might help ?
    What else ?

    My NIC is "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265".

    Dns problems can be dns or poor signal both give same error. Set dns to 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1 but you need to check to see if there ìs another router close thats on same channel

    Other machines does not have this problem.
    My problem is consistent on every router.
