DNS server isn't responding

[Abidaisl]

Hello all, 

So whenever I'm trying to use internet the website shows no internet access even tho the Wi-Fi shows its connected. When I troubleshoot it, it says the DNS server isn't responding. I have internet access in my other devices but not only on my laptop.  Any help would be really appreciated.

Welcome to HP support community.

Hard reset on the printer, router, computer and other devices on the same network.

The following steps temporarily disconnect network and Internet connections and require restarting your computer. Complete any tasks or downloads in progress before continuing.

1. Press the Power button on the printer to turn it off.

2. Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

3. Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.

4. Turn off the computer.

5. Wait for 30 seconds.

6. Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.

7. Wait for 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready

8. Turn the computer back on.

9. Wait for the computer to reload

10. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

11. Turn the printer back on.

If the wireless light is solid blue, then the printer is connected to the network. Press the blue icon and then get the printer IP address.

Now open a web browser and on the address bar (top left corner) type the IP address and press enter. If the printer and the computer are on the same network, the printer page (Printer EWS) should display.

Let’s try assigning a static IP to try and fix this issue. Follow the steps below:

• Obtain the IP address of the printer – You can touch the “wireless” icon on the printer control panel to get the IP address.
• Type the IP address on your web browser to obtain the printer EWS page on your computer.
• Go to "Network" tab - General - Select "Network protocols" - Select "Enable IPv4 only" (or similar) - Apply the settings.
• Go to the “Network” tab – Click on “Wireless (802.11) – Then click on “Network address (IPv4)
• Click on the radio button which says “Manual IP” and then click “Suggest a manual IP address” to give a manual IP address to your printer.
• Click on radio button which says “Manual DNS Server” and under manual preferred type 8.8.8.8 and under manual alternate type 8.8.4.4 (This is Google DNS server address)

• Unplug the USB cable from the printer and computer if present.
• Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select the HP Officejet printer entries and uninstall them.
• Restart your computer.
• Now go ahead and download and install the full feature software from the support website. (Please choose the OS)
• Select the connection type as wireless if prompted and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

I hope that helps.
