If you're having trouble reaching Genesis Radio or the stream won't load, the issue may be with your DNS provider (the service that turns domain names into IP addresses).
This happens more often than you'd think — and it's easy to fix.
✅ Quick Fix: Change Your DNS
We recommend switching to one of these trusted, fast, privacy-respecting DNS providers:
Provider

Quad9
9.9.9.9

👀 Why This Happens
Some ISPs use outdated, slow, or misconfigured DNS servers. This can cause:
Outdated IP address cache
Failed SSL validation
Inability to resolve subdomains (like stream.genesis-radio.net)
