My Wifi doesn't resolve IPv4 addresses on Fedora 42

1

My Wifi doesn’t resolve IPv4 addresses and it’s a big problem, because I almost cannot search anything or connect to most sites. Those that are open and have their addresses in IPv6 work without issue, for example You Tube.
ping -4 google.com doesn’t yeild any results, but ping google.com recieves packages without issue.
I downgraded atheros-firmware, linux-firmware, kf6-kwallet and kf6-kwallet-libs as I’ve read that they’ve been causing issues other people, however it didn’t help.

Here I will put a log from journalctl -u NetworkManager --boot for anyone that can see something smart that I am not seeing:

Do you have an IP address for the Wifi?
Did you get a DNS server address from your router (assuming DHCP)?

What is output of:

ip address
resolvectl

Please post as pre-formatted text using the </> button.

I think I do get the IP. I was able to ping my gateway. I did get the DNS server adress from my router and for IP4.DNS it was 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8.

Here is the output for ip address:

But the “Current DNS Server” is 192.168.0.1 which means your machine isn’t directly contacting those DNS servers, rather it’s asking the router to do DNS relay. That’s not a wrong configuration, but could it be that there’s a problem with IP4 DNS relay on your router?

I don’t think that’s the case, because when I boot to windows on the same machine everything works fine.

6

Although now that I am outside my house, I was forced to connect to hotspot on my smartphone and everything works fine. So maybe it is the router? I will try to mess with it a little once I return.

Have you manually configured to use 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8?
If so I think you need to also configure to ignore dns servers from dhcp.
That would stop the 192.168.0.1 being added to the config.

Yes I did that manually. I tried to remove the automatic dns by typing nmcli con mod "PLAY_Swiatlowodowy_E3D6_5G" ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes and then nmcli con up "PLAY_Swiatlowodowy_E3D6_5G", but then my internet just doesn’t work completely.

Turns out it was my router and after turning it off and on it works. I didn’t think it was the router, because my phone and windows connected without issues. Funny that Fedora had troubles with it.

I think it is because you configure dns servers on fedora that are not configured the same way on your other devices.
