When it comes to convenience and reliability, or goodwill among their user base, few online groups chatting platforms even come close to Discord. However, that does not exempt it from suffering bugs and issues similar to those experienced by other competing sites or apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cNo Route\u201d prompt is one such error, which happens when Discord\u2019s client has issues successfully connecting to a voice channel<\/strong>. This can be because of problems caused by either user settings on their network or, less commonly, by an issue on Discord\u2019s end.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Causes The No Route Error?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re being faced with a \u201cNo Route\u201d error while using Discord, then it\u2019s best to understand the reason for the issue before heading to the fixes. The \u201cNo Route\u201d prompt is commonly caused by a connection to a faulty server or complications arising from the use of VPNs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could also be that your firewall could be blocking Discord\u2019s connection to an external server, or you could possibly be experiencing a varying IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, with the possible core of the problem in mind, the next step is to try out fixes for each of the issues mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solving The No Route Error<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are some possible fixes to the no-route error, sorted for your ease by the least to most technical:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disable Your VPN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Discord can sometimes have issues establishing and maintaining its connection when the user has a VPN enabled. A VPN bounces your connection to a different server somewhere in the world before routing back to your network, so it is easy to see how VPNs can sometimes cause problems with your network connection that can lead to the no route error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though this is not always the case as certain premium VPNs account and accommodate for this, it is still worth checking to disable whichever VPN you\u2019re using to see if that\u2019s helped fix the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switch Your Discord Client<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Switching your discord client from the mobile\/desktop app to the browser<\/a> can, in some cases, solve this error. This would be because your app could have problems with its core files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To check if this is the case, do the same action that caused the error on the app client instead on the browser client, or vice versa, and take note of whether you\u2019re still getting the error or not. If you aren\u2019t, then the problem was probably in the app or browser you were using and you should consider reinstalling it to fix and patch the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reboot\/Reset Your Hardware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Turning hardware off and on again is a fixing method as old as time, and it applies here as well. If you face the no route error on discord, restarting your device and resetting your internet modem can potentially fix the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can further check your modem\u2019s wiring or your PC\u2019s internal networking hardware to ensure everything\u2019s working and up-to-code on the hardware side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switch Server\/Region Of Discord Voice Chat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Discord has a feature where it automatically chooses the best performing server and connects your voice channel to it. However, this automatic system can sometimes result in complications. Fortunately, you can change the server your voice channel uses, which will subsequently change it for all users inside your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
