Issue 'Discord No Route' Error

'Discord No Route' Error

While the Discord app was initially geared toward being a VoIP (Voice-over-IP) application for video game users, it has become one of the world's prominent social media platforms. Discord has amassed over 250 million active users, allowing them to establish separate groups based on interests and topics. As with any software application, Discord errors are not that uncommon. One such possible issue is the appearance of the 'Discord No Route' error. Generally, it means that the Discord client is unable to establish a connection with the voice channel, resulting in disrupted audio or complete loss of communication.

Possible Reasons behind the ‘Discord No Route’ Error

Users experiencing this particular problem should know there may be several different reasons causing it. One reason for this error message is connection issues, where the internet connection is too slow or unstable to establish a connection. This can be due to an overloaded network or an outdated network infrastructure.

The error might also appear if their computer's IP address has been changed, a common occurrence when the user has a Dynamic IP address. Anti-malware solutions also could interfere with the normal Discord operation by limiting or restricting outgoing connections. In that case, users can temporarily disable their anti-malware program or add the Discord app to its Exceptions list.

In the last several years, VPNs' usage (Virtual Private Networks) has seen a drastic increase due to the security protections they provide. Using a VPN Solution that doesn't support UDP (User Datagram Protocol) could cause the 'Discord No Route' error to start appearing. Try to disable the VPN connection and see if this fixes the issue.

Another possible cause for this error is whether the Quality of Service High Packet Priority has been enabled in Discord app settings. Still, the user's ISP (Internet Service Provider) doesn't support Quality of Service (QoS). To know if this is the case, do the following:

  1. Open Discord and click User Settings (the gear icon close to your profile name).
  2. Find Voice & Video from the list on the left corner and click on it.
  3. Scroll down to the Quality of Service section. If the Enable Quality of Service High Packet Priority option has been enabled, click on the button to disable it.
  4. Check if it fixed the 'Discord No Route' error.
