?MY TPLINK ROUTER w8980 worked fine till yesterday I stopped receiving on wireless Internet access.

Finally after connecting by LAN I was able to log into the home screen. Under system I was able to factory reset after saving config file. It did not work till I reset again and manually inserted data to connect to ISP. The router now works, however Under diagnostics I get the message D N S root fail. What does this mean?

No worries if no problem with your internet connection at all.
When the root DNS sever blocks ping, it will show Ping root DNS fail in Diagnostics. But it won't affect internet connection.

Thank you Vivian,

Can you say where the DNS root lies? Is it a server with the ISP?
