Method 1. Restart your Router and Computer
You may receive the Discord No Route error if your network connection is constantly interrupted by a changing dynamic IP address. Therefore, it is recommended that you first restart your router* and computer and if the problem is not resolved, then proceed to the following methods.
* Note: To restart your router, simply unplug its power cable for 1 minute and then plug it back in.
Method 2. Disable or Uninstall any Third-Party Antivirus Program.
If you're using a third party antivirus/security program, try to disable it temporally and check if the problem persists. If the "No Route" error still appears on Discord then try to completely remove your security/firewall program by following the steps below:
1. Simultaneously press the Windows + R keys to open run command box.
2. In run command box, type: appwiz.cpl and press Enter.
3. In the newly launched window, locate and right-click on your third-party antivirus program and select Uninstall.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the uninstallation process.
5. Restart the computer and check if the problem persists.
Method 3. Disable/Disconnect VPN/
Using a VPN connection that is not configured to use UDP (User Datagram Protocol) can also cause the "No Route"error, due to the fact that the Discord app does not work with VPNs that do not use UDP.
So if you're using a VPN solution, check out how UDP is handled on the service provider's website. Alternatively, you try to disconnect from the VPN and connect directly to Discord to determine if the VPN is the culprit. If that fixes the problem, then it's best to change your VPN provider.
Method 4. Disable Quality of Service High Packet Priority.
1. Launch Discord and click on the gear icon located in the bottom left corner of the window.
2. In APP SETTINGS, select Voice & Video from the left panel.
3. Now locate Enable Quality of Service High Packet Priority in the right pane and turn its toggle OFF.
4. Finally, relaunch Discord and check if the "no Route" error has been resolved.
Method 5. FIX Discord No Route error by Changing DNS Servers.
1. Simultaneously press the Windows + R keys to open run command box.
2. In run command box, type: control and press Enter.
3. Inside the Control Panel window, click on Network and Internet.
4. Then go to the Network and Sharing Center.
5. Now select the Connections hyperlink against your network connection.
6. In the newly launched dialog box, click on the Properties button.
7. At Networking tab, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4 and click Properties.
8. At the new window, apply the following actions:
a. Select Use the following DNS server addresses.
b. Type the following Google DNS Server addresses:

- 8.8.4.4
9. Once done, click OK to close all windows and restart your PC.
10. After restart check if the Discord "No Route" error has been resolved.
Other Methods to fix No Route error in Discord.
If after following the above methods, you still face the NO ROUTE error in Discord, try the following:
1. Make sure that Discord is not blocked in your Router's firewall settings.
2. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and ensure that DISCORD is not blocked from ISP.
