When trying to connect to the Internet from your laptop computer, you may receive an error concerning improper DNS settings. DNS stands for Domain Name System, which handles how computers connect to IP addresses and websites. In order to fix a DNS problem, you need to modify your network adapter's settings so that it connects to the correct DNS servers automatically.
I have a wireless router{frios verizon} and a vizio blueray dvd player. HHow can I watch netflix on a TV(wireless) in the other side of the house without hooking it up with wires?
DNS stands for Domain Name Service, and it helps in accessing various
websites on the Internet. An error regarding the DNS for any particular
website usually implies the lack of an active Internet connection. The
purpose of DNS is to simply translate the address that a user types on
the web browser from the human language into the computer language.
DNS is used to resolve names to numerical IP addresses, which is needed to route traffic onto the Internet. Whenever a URL is entered into the browser, the beginning part is the website's domain name.
One Website Not Working: try contacting other sites on the Internet to see if the DNS error is particular to one website. If only one site is not working, the problem rests with the one website.
Computer Not Connected: another item to check when a DNS error shows up is to see if the computer is on the local network. Check to see if the home or office router can be reached from the computer. If not, the DNS error is from the computer not being able to connect to the local office or home network.
Internet Connection Down: if no websites are working, it might be because the Internet connection is down due to a faulty cable/DNS modem or the ISP is down. Power off and on the modem. If the DNS errors still persist, contact the ISP.
DNS Errors: in the vast majority of cases, DNS errors have nothing to do with DNS. DNS errors are usually one of the first symptoms of internet or wireless connectivity issues.

This DNS error is a simple fix. Simply go to your Internet Connection Settings and change the DNS part of it to Manual. Then for the DNS enter one of these two DNS's 208.67.222.222 and/or 208.67.220.220
this should fix your DNS error!
Hopefully this information helps to solve your problem!
It
seems like the DNS error is generally caused by problems on your ISP's
end of the network, but that doesn't mean you can't have a crack at
fixing it yourself.
Under your network connection settings try changing the DNS servers to the following numbers (they're free by the way)
Primary DNS 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS 208.67.220.220
Also, try disabling media server connection as well. These simple steps should, in 90% of cases, fix the problem.
If you get the error all the time, goto your network card properties and in the space where you can enter a DNS address, just enter 4.2.2.2 and teh primary DNS and 4.2.2.3 as the secondary DNS. These are universal DNS addresses.
