It is the router. I replaced it and now all works fine.

Okay! I tried everything. This happens on my friend’s laptop too. I think it’s the router. For further support, I have added a thread here. Thought it would be helpful.

Try power cycling the modem (I suppose you might have done this already!)

Yes, I have done this many times.

Try booting the system in safe mode with networking and check if the issue can be reproduced

I should have mentioned this earlier. I did try this and the issue persists.

Check for any firmware updates for your modem

No firmware updates for this model. This model is fairly old. Like 5 years old!

Incase you haven’t tested other devices, do that. If the DNS fails on other devices too, then it’s more likely an issue with your router or ISP.

I will update on this when I get hold of a friend’s laptop.

Thanks, but I don’t have a shell access to the server. I only have FTP access.

Yes matt I am using shared hosting. 😅 Should have mentioned that! Thank you for the suggestions Karthikeyan. Apache chainsaw is good.

Well said. The rule of third gird helps me really. In the end it is a guideline after all. I found out that Photoshop has this rules predefined in the cropping tool. Thank you.

Poor Edgar.

Woah! This is actually a brilliant theory. But why don’t the rest of the train babies have this ability? Edgar did not look like he had any of it.
