Hi

Since I got my Win8.1 and Netgear Router R7000 which is connected to Netgear modem ADSL2+ DGND3700,

I'm constanly getting disconnection with the following error "Your DNS Server Isn't Responding"
I need to reboot my modem every time when it happens.

I currently get my DNS from my ISP automatically but I also changed to 8.8.8.8/4.4 to no avail.

I'm not sure if it's Win8.1 or the new R7000 router.

Please help me to figure it out since my ISP did all they could and told me this issue has nothing to do with them :/
 
Solution
1. Set your pc to get its ip from the first router… this step is important to add a lease for it and we can make it a static address later if you want.

2. Log in to the 1st router (typically you use a browser for this) and look for the dhcp settings.
a. You should have a range of address (often called a scope) eg. 192.168.0.100 – 192.168.0.200… for a home system this gives out 100 addresses and as the router lives at .0.1 we want the numbers given out to new machines to be well away from this number i.e make certain that the scope don't give out its own address.
b. Look under clients and you should see the mac address of your pc… assuming {you did 1 above} then the pc will probably be # 0.100 but a ipconfig will...
