Having some weird problems with my home WiFi of late.
I'm developing a sharpoint site for work and I cannot deploy it from my home WiFi. It always says it can't resolve the remote name (same as if I'm not connected to the internet or the server hasn't been started up). I also can't visit the site with the browser either.
I can get to google 100% of the time. I can't seem to visit any pages in the search results though! I can get to ookla speed test always but sometimes the test won't run (it will get to ping and then do nothing).
When ookla does run I get around 50mbps download, 20mbps upload and 12ms ping so it should be plenty fast enough.
Hotspotting on my phone works fine but it is much slower and my laptop disconnects regularly, and it is a pain to get it connected again (turning WiFi on and off on the laptop and hotspot on and off on the phone until the laptop can see the connection and then having to click connect ten times until it connects instead of saying "can't connect to this network").
Does anyone have any ideas I can look at? Settings on the router? I am not super savvy about networking.
BTW VPN is off on my laptop but not sure if I am behind a proxy (the site amIbehindaproxy.com does not load 🤦♀️)
Remote name issues are commonly due to DNS resolution failures. I am guessing the host you are trying to deploy to maybe can only be "seen" when you are on the company network. Either that or there is an issue with your ISP's DNS servers. On my home network, I don't use the default ISP DNS servers, I set home network to use Google's DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Maybe, You can try and set it manually on your wifi connection and see if it helps?
