Telus Internet DNS issue
My Telus Internet connection loses DNS configuration every once in a while. Over a 3 month period, it used to fail DNS resolution perhaps once a month or less. This week though, it has happened 4 times already. This happens across the board on all devices. I repeat it only loses the DNS resolution part. My work VPN connections, on going Netflix connection all stay on without any issues. I do not use Telus' name servers; I have disabled IPV6. The modem/router is standard cylindrical Telus WifiHub. Wifi connection is good, connection from modem to Telus is good. When I used nslookup from the command prompt to point to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, the openDNS name servers, they all answer my DNS queries. However when you try to ping, say, google.com or telus.com, or connect to them from a browser, it fails to resolve the names. Rebooting the modem restores DNS resolution but I cannot and don't want to reboot the Telus techsupport has been very helpful but have not been able to resolve the issue, other than rebooting the modem and suggesting to reset it. Please let me know if there is a way to fix this issue.6.6KViews0likes2Comments
