How Do I Fix the TP-Link DNS Server Not Responding?

Going by your query, it seems that you have not opted for automatic IP generation from your ISP via DHCP. The option for automatic IP address can be turned on from your router settings page which is fairly simple and easy. I will discuss how to complete it,

Just follow the instructions given below carefully:

Step 1: Connect your router to your computer via an ethernet cable. One end of this cable goes inside the LAN port of your router while the other end goes inside the ethernet port on your computer.

The ADSL cable goes into the WAN port of your router. once the set-up is complete, wait for a few seconds to let the connection between the two get established.

Step 2: Open your web browser type in 192.168.1.1 in the given URL field and hit Enter. This will redirect you to the login portal of your router.

Step 3: Enter "admin" in the username field leave the password field blank and hit enter to get access to the main settings of your router. In case your ISP has provided you an SSID & password, enter those credentials.

Step 4: Once on the main settings page, go to DHCP settings or WAN settings whichever of the two is available. In the DHCP/WAN settings tab, you will notice a box for DHCP settings, choose YES.

This will provide your TP-Link router with an automatic IP address from your ISP without you worrying about changing it every few months.

What Issue is it that I have with my TP-Link router?

Whenever I try to reload or refresh a webpage, the websites I try to view initially won't open. It will open with no issues. It is a regular disconnect from the internet.

All websites have a prolonged response time, or at least that's what I experienced when I tried to access any of them. You can notice this by looking at the "Looking for or Resolving." notifications beneath the browser. Using the desktop to verify it nearly takes 30 to 40 seconds instead of 2 to 5 seconds.

When you browse any website, occasionally you'll see faulty or incorrectly loading pictures, as well as a message similar to "Unable resolve DNS." on a widget.

These are the issues I ran into when using my TP-Link router to connect to the internet via WiFi (LAN cable testing was not done).
