Internet games have made their way to the interest of the game community. The two most played internet games in our recent time are PUBG mobile and Garena Free Fire. Moreover, we still have some users who face some challenges with the server. It came to my attention about a year ago, I used to have these two games on my Android device.
One day, I took my phone to keep myself company with Free Fire. I got stuck in the loading process, it was taking ages. I disconnected my router and connected to another, then it worked well. But when I use my router, it’s the same issue. My Free Fire game would get stuck in the loading process but PUBG mobile would display different error codes.
Instances like this, you should have in mind that the problem source is not the router. The problem is in your network settings. The issue is based in the DNS server. To fix this, ensure to follow the required procedures below.
