Hey everyone! I recently moved into a new place and connected my PC to the WiFi, but I'm having a tough time accessing some websites and apps. For instance, sites like Reddit and anything related to Riot Games show an "address unreachable" error. Even the Riot Games launcher isn't connecting properly, even though my phone can access the same sites just fine over the same WiFi. I've already flushed my DNS and reset the network settings. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Another option is to test with a VPN. You can use a free one like the service from Cloudflare at one.one.one.one. It seems like there might be some sort of content filtering or transparent proxy in place that's blocking access, especially for teens. Just make sure your PC is able to download apps, as that could be an issue too.
Try changing your DNS settings to Google's! You can do this in your network settings under adapter properties. Set the IPv4 DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. If the sites work on your phone, the issue is likely with your PC's network configuration rather than the WiFi itself. Give it a shot and let me know if it helps!
Thanks for the tip! I tried that but unfortunately, it still didn't work.
I love that idea, but I can't download VPNs right now since my computer can’t seem to determine if downloads are safe due to connection issues. It's frustrating!
