Solution 2:  Install the recent drivers 

In order to function correctly, your network adapter depends on drivers, and if you have any issues with it, your drivers may be responsible for it.

Your drivers may be corrupted or modified automatically, and this may lead to the failure of a DNS server.

You need download the recent drivers on your computer, in order to solve this issue. You need to install the drivers on your computer.

You may want to download and install drivers on a different device if you can not access the internet at all.

Some users also recommend that you uninstall your network drivers before the new drivers are installed. Follow these measures to do this:

DNS servers are used because words rather than numbers are easy to understand and remember, but computers also have to use IP addresses to access websites. A DNS server is pretty much like an IP address and hostname translator. Computers also store DNS responses locally so that the DNS application does not occur each time you connect to a specific domain name you earlier visited. You will remember that for a period of time when your computer has determined the IP address that associated with it. The DNS Request Period is saved for improved link speeds.
