Many individuals encounter an error message stating, “Safari can’t open the page because it can’t find the server,” despite having a strong signal. This issue is common and is often caused by the way iOS manages the Domain Name System (DNS), which converts URLs to the correct IP addresses. When iOS mishandles these requests, users may face the aforementioned problem.
To Fix Safari can’t find the server Error, follow these steps:
- Open Settings > Wi-Fi.
- Tap the blue arrow next to the network’s signal strength meter.
- Replace the existing content in the DNS field with either 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 (Google’s Public DNS).
By directly entering the IP address 216.58.210.206 into the address bar, you can test if the problem lies with the DNS. This should load Google, bypassing the need for DNS.
If the problem persists, consider resetting all network settings by navigating to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
