[QUOTE="Chris Hayes, post: 3849607, member: 45854"] CL35, it's very possible that your computer still has internet because it's using it's own DNS settings, not your ISPs DNS. I'm guessing tht when you try other devices, they are still connected to your wifi but it's just not passing the traffic as the "managed" DNS has been turned off. Without DNS you can be connected at light speed but internet does not work as it doesn't know where to go. You can manually assign DNS to your other devices to test this. IE, 1.1.1.1 is the DNS server for Cloudflare. It's a clean and fast DNS server. [/QUOTE]
