Why won't my games work on wifi but everything else does?
Asked by

I'm having a strange issue with my wifi. It seems to be working perfectly for regular tasks like texting, scrolling through TikTok, and watching YouTube. However, when I try to play games like Identity V, Twisted Wonderland, or Ensemble Stars, they won't connect at all and say I have no network. The only games that work are Honkai: Star Rail and Cookie Run: Kingdom. I tested my mobile data, and everything works perfectly there. Also, I visited a family member's place, and their wifi worked fine for gaming. The issue seems to be isolated to my device, a Samsung A31. My brother's PC and my mom's phone have no problems playing these games. This has been happening since last Friday. Can anyone help? Please explain like I'm five!

It sounds like there might be a problem with your DNS settings or the games themselves not updating properly. Try updating the games first, and if that doesn't help, look into changing your phone's DNS settings. You can find instructions online for how to do this on a Samsung phone.
