Can't properly connect to wifi after software update

[Noweley]

Ever since I installed the Android 11 software update, I can't properly connect to my wifi. I can't open any other apps or websites except facebook, messenger, instagram, and youtube. The rest, it will say that "DNS address could not be found" or that there is no internet connection even if I'm connected to the wifi. I already did factory reset and turned my router on and off but I still can't connect properly.  My old phone(A50) is the first to suffer and now I just bought my A12 today and did the software update and I can't connect anymore. All the other devices in the house can connect to the wifi except my phone. How to fix this?

Try changing your DNS to CloudFlare or Google DNS
Cloudflare DNS:
1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1
Google DNS
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

To change DNS, go to your Wifi Settings, change from DHCP to Static and input 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 in DNS 1 and 1.0.0.1 or 8.8.4.4 in DNS 2, then Save

Thank you so much it worked. I used 1.1.1.1 for DNS 1 and 1.0.0.1 for DNS 2. It worked for both of my phones
