Every now and then there will be a short period where all the devices on my network will be be unable to connect to Google.com
Navigating to the page on any computer or device on the network (both wired & wireless) using any browser displays a message such as "Oops! Google Chrome could not find google.com"
I've done all the typical malware scans with no improvement. I tried reformatting my desktop, which still didn't work-- after reformatting, I disconnected all other devices except the desktop, and before an hour of use I ran into the problem again. I had not installed any shady software, and no other drives (or partitions) contain my old files had been added yet.
So, if it is happening on a totally clean computer and new devices added to my network, does that mean that the problem is at the router level? the firewall? my ISP?
I have combed through all my services, firewall settings, router settings, and the event log looking for something out of place but can't find anything.
Any ideas what to look for next?
