DNS Issue on Hap AC2

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I’m having DNS issues with my Hap AC2. It experienced a sudden power loss, and when I rebooted the router, DNS stops working entirely.

I’m using a PPPoE connection from my ISP with their DNS servers. I ticked the Peer DNS option, so in the Dynamic servers my ISP’s DNS server shows up, and I’m still connected to the internet.
However, the local DNS services is down - I can’t resolve domain names from the router itself. But I can resolve domain names from PCs and other devices. But any device that uses the router for its DNS cannot resolve anything.

I’ve tried:

  • Putting my ISP DNS server onto the “Servers” box in IP > DNS
    Rebooting cleanly
    Power cycling
    Restoring backup

Those don’t work. Any ideas on what to check?

Is “allow remote requests” enabled under IP DNS?

3

It’s disabled. But it makes no difference enabled/disabled.

4

Do the host names/website addresses show up in your DNS cache?

5

No, the only entries were the router’s address and the reverse lookup address for the router.

Well there were no solutions but to do a netinstall and reinstall routeros. I guess the power outage corrupted something.
