My MacBook Air is connected to my home network, but not to the internet.

All other devices have internet access. Diagnostics tell me that it is a DNS problem. The DNS list is empty. What do I need to add?

Hi kevinmac0505,


Usually, your router or gateway supplies the default DNS servers for your Mac to use. If this isn't happening, try forgetting the network, and then rejoining it: How to forget a Wi-Fi network on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac - Apple Support


If that still doesn't work, try providing one or two of these DNS servers. There are many more to choose from, these are only examples:


Google: 8.8.8.8

Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1

Quad9: 9.9.9.9

OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

My MacBook Air is connected to my home network, but not to the internet.
