My connection is active, but accessing the internet isn't functioning properly.
Recently I've faced a problem on my PC that hasn't been fixed. I've seen many videos and tried various fixes, but nothing seems to work. The issue began about a week ago, with some sites loading slowly while others did quickly. If my browser loaded slowly, I'd encounter errors like DNSP_PROBE_STARTED, DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN, or DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET. Sometimes the errors disappeared after a short time, and my internet would return on its own. I searched for solutions but none helped. I checked command prompts, adjusted adapter settings, reset network options, and even changed Wi-Fi connections. Still, nothing resolved it. I'm unsure how to fix this since all attempts failed.
Update the DNS address you rely on. The standard is often your ISP’s IP, but switch it to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google). You can adjust it in your device settings for a single machine or modify the router settings to affect all network devices.

Can I attempt a wired Ethernet connection? This will help determine if the issue lies with your adapter.
My PC is on the upper floor while the modem is below. I rely on a powerline adapter to provide Ethernet access upstairs.
Would you have to use a screen to verify it functions properly?
