NightHawk RAX70 - Laptops cannot connect to internet, 26 other devices can...
Nighthawk Tri-Band AX8 RAX70. Router Firmware Version V1.0.15.146 Windows 11 Pro Home Studio
As the title suggests I am having a big problem with my two laptops which both connect to the router ok, but have no internet connection. All my other wi-fi devices have internet connections. I had one hint that it could be a DNS problem but I don't know how to change that.
Any help appreciated.

If other devices are working then I would look at these two laptops.
Ensure there DNS are configured and cleared out. IPCONFIG /flushdns is a good command to try in a command line.Contact the Mfr about support and information regarding there product.

Similar problem over here, with the same questions:

I had one hint that it could be a DNS problem but I don't know how to change that.Hint from where?
I have tried flushing the DNS but that didn't work . Also tried using Google DNS 8.8.8.8. & 8.8.4.4. Also didn't work.
I will call HP.
I spoke to Tech Support and they discovered that my Asus repeater was causing the problem!
All is working well now, both laptops connected!
Thanks !

Is there a chance you have the random hardware (MAC) address feature enabled in Windows 11?
