The problem
I have this DNS problem once per day, where I can't navigate to any website on any browser but the already started downloads or media streaming continue to run fine.
cmd ipconfig /all
While the issue lasts:

What solves it
Restarting the router/windows or just waiting for 5-10 min. But the issue re-appears next day.
What doesn't solve it
Any of the following: cmd commands I tried like /flushdns or /renew, disabling windows firewall or disabling IPv6.
Edit
- Router: Speedtouch 510 (5.4.0.14)
- ISP: LINKdotNET (Egypt)
- Wired DSL connection
Any help with this ?
