I have a problem with my router, its probably been explained before though.
I felt like I had to reset my router to see if it would fix some website problem ie I couldn't connect to hotmail etc. Everything else was fine. However after I reset the router I cannot get onto the internet and I ran a diagnostic and it came up with a DNS problem. All the settings are as they were before I reset it, but I am not clear as to why it cannot connect to the internet. I've tried resetting many times but still the same outcome. My ISP is orange so I don't know if their DNS server is down. Also I'm running vista but that hasn't been a problem before. Any Suggestions cheers
There was probably a problem with Hotmail in the first place not your router. Restart the router and wait a few minutes . If the words 'connected' come up at the right of your screen then the router is working fine. Web site access problems are probably due to settings in internet options.
Consider using OpenDNS.
You can find it at https://www.opendns.com/
It's nameservers are:
208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
I'll skip the details why they are hundreds of times better than your ISP's nameservers, but they list the reasons on their site. Give it a try and see if it will work.
