Hi. I hope some one can help me.
Since a few weeks my Galaxy S6 has been having issues with the Wifi at home. Sometimes sites wouldn't load until I disabled Wifi and enabled it again (I got some sort of "DNS" error) but other than that it worked fine. Now since about a week the connection while using Wifi at home has become really slow: Sites that used to take 1-2 seconds to load now take 20+, Skype calls have really bad quality and youtube will sometimes not even load or it will ask me to check my connection.
The important thing is:
- The Wifi is working fine with every other device in my house (Laptops, TV, Game consoles, other phones/tablets).
- My phone works fine when connected to another Wifi signal that's not the one at home (for example the one at work or the one at my friends/family house)
Any ideas of what to do?. I tried setting the DNS manually on my phone but it won't let me save (the "save" optio is grayed out). I also tried wiping the cache partition but it didn't help.
I'd like to leave a factory reset as my final option. I have a ton of photos, music and apps installed and backing all up would be a pain
Thx in advance
EDIT:
Ok so it's definitely a DNS issue but I'm not too sure on how to fix it.
I downloaded and app called "DNS Changer". Enable it and everything works fine again.
But I don't want to use that app, it has adds and has to be allways running. I tried setting up my connection with the static IP option using the google public DNS but it didn't help
