How to Clear DNS Cache on Wi-Fi

The Domain Name System (DNS) cache stores IP addresses associated with domain names to speed up website loading. However, this cache can sometimes become corrupted or outdated, resulting in connectivity issues. Clearing the DNS cache can help resolve these problems.

Using Command Prompt:

1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, search for “Command Prompt” in the Start menu, right-click it, and select “Run as administrator.”

2. Type the following commands in sequence, pressing Enter after each one:

   • ipconfig /release
   • ipconfig /renew
   • ipconfig /flushdns

3. The first command releases your current IP address, the second one obtains a new IP address, and the third one flushes the DNS cache.

After Clearing the DNS Cache:

• Restart your computer or Wi-Fi router.
• Try connecting to the websites or services you were having trouble with.

Additional Notes:

• Clearing the DNS cache is a temporary solution and may not resolve all connectivity issues.
• If the problem persists, you may need to try other troubleshooting steps, such as resetting your Wi-Fi router or checking your network settings.
• You can also use third-party tools like DNS Jumper or NameBench to manage and clear your DNS cache.
