Has anyone ever solved the problem of resolution DNS in Windows 8?

I had my first Windows 8 PC (inspirion 660) and had immediately DNS resolution problems.  Updated to 8.1 and still had problems with DNS resolution.  I am connected to the router via an ethernet cable, no wifi.  I have to flushdns every 30 minutes or more often, just to be able to use the internet.  Have searched and tried the answers online and the only one I see that actually worked for everyone must replace the router.  All the other solutions seem to fail.  All my other computers and devices work fine.

There is not a widespread (or even localized, as far as I know) problem with the DNS on Windows 8.  If other devices work fine, but your laptop is affected, then there is a problem with your specific machine or settings.  Have manually set you the IP settings on the PC, including DNS servers?  If so, put everything to DHCP.  If this is not the case, try to define the servers DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.0.0 and see if it works any differently.  If so, it's your router or ISP DNS.  If this isn't the case, then it may be that something went wrong on your computer.  Make sure that all Windows updates are installed and that you have the latest chipset and network drivers and the latest firmware BIOS and NIC.
