Macbook Connects to Wi-Fi but Has no Internet Connection How to Fix by Changing Mac’s Domain Name System (DNS)

Situatie

Domain Name System (DNS) servers map domain names to their Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and allow you to go quickly to websites and servers you visit frequently without typing the complete address. Sometimes, changing the DNS provider from your Internet provider to a free public service like Google or Cloudflare helps your Mac connect swiftly to the internet.

Solutie

1.Close any open web browser on your Mac before starting (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and so forth)
2.Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network
3.Select Wi-Fi and then choose Advanced
4.Click the DNS tab
5.Under DNS Servers, click the Plus button (+)

Add new DNS servers on a Mac

8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for Google Public DNS
1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 for Cloudflare
208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 for OpenDNS
8.26.56.26 and 8.20.247.20 for Comodo Secure DNS
