Issues in resolving AP names
Issues in resolving AP names
Hello everyone, I just returned from college and now have one device connected—just the router’s AP no longer supports internet tasks. My main issue is with name resolution. I checked both the router and the AP’s DNS settings; everything looked normal at first glance. When I pinged google.com, it showed a temporary failure in resolving names. I tried updating /etc/resolv.conf to 8.8.8.8 initially but got no results. I also used 1.1.1.1 without any cookies. Dig showed similar problems, with a timeout and no server reachable. This is where my understanding stops—please help me out. Thanks in advance.
No, but you can still connect via SSH from other network locations (if needed). Testing with ping to 8.8.8.8 is useful for checking connectivity. The issue might be related to the local IP address, as indicated by the "Destination Host Unreachable" message.
Tracing route to 8.8.8.8 with a limit of 30 hops and 60 bytes per packet from a raspberrypi located at 1239.208 ms. Results show temporary name resolution issues for google.com, indicating a failure in handling that command line argument.
Check if your router’s IP is configured as the default gateway for your computer. Display your routing table using “ip route show” on most Linux systems. Publicly share any private IP addresses (like 10., 172., or 192.168.)—they’re safe to share and can’t be misused.
The default gateway isn't showing up correctly. I checked the routing table and confirmed the IP address. I looked up how to modify the route and adjusted it accordingly. Then I tested the connection to google.com, which worked fine. Thanks for the clarification—no need to worry about security.
