How To Fix Discord No Route Error?

What is Causing the Discord No Route Error?

We identified a few scenarios where this error might occur after investigating the issue and looking at various user reports. They are as follows:

1. The IP address assigned to the PC was changed – This generally happens because Dynamic IP regularly changed. In this case, you have to just restart Modem + Router + Computer.
2. 3rd party Firewall or Antivirus is blacklisting discord –Discord will not be permitted to maintain an outgoing connection with an outside server whenever it happens.
3. The computer is using a VPN without UDP – Since Discord is designed to only work with VPN solutions that have UDP it is a regular occurrence.
4. Discord is blocked by network admin – Discord can be blocked if you’re trying to use Discord at work or from a school network.
5. Server’s voice region is incompatible with your client – a server hosted on a different continent is reported to happen when you try to connect. 
6. QoS doesn’t work with your network – your network may not fit to support Quality of Service High Packet Priority so you can disable it from the Voice & Video settings
