Discord Error 1105 — What It Means & How to Fix It

What Does This Error Mean?

Discord Error 1105 means Discord has lost its connection to Discord's servers. You will typically see a message like 'Connecting...' or 'No Route' followed by Error 1105. This is almost always a network issue — either your internet dropped, a firewall is blocking Discord, or Discord's servers are experiencing a temporary problem.

Affected Models

Discord on Windows
Discord on macOS
Discord on Linux

Common Causes

Your internet connection dropped or is unstable
A firewall or antivirus is blocking Discord's connection to its servers
Discord's own servers are temporarily down or overloaded
A VPN is interfering with Discord's connection
Your DNS settings are preventing Discord from resolving its server addresses

How to Fix It

Check Discord's server status at discordstatus.com. If there is an ongoing incident, the problem is on Discord's end — wait for them to resolve it.

Discord publishes real-time server status updates. If others are affected, your problem will be fixed when Discord fixes theirs.
Check your internet connection. Try loading a website to confirm you are online. If nothing loads, restart your router.

Unplug your router for 30 seconds, then plug it back in and wait for it to reconnect.
Flush your DNS cache. Open Command Prompt as administrator and run: ipconfig /flushdns

A stale DNS cache can prevent Discord from finding its servers.
Check that Discord is allowed through Windows Firewall. Go to Control Panel > Windows Defender Firewall > Allow an app and make sure Discord is listed and both boxes are checked.

If Discord recently updated, the new version may not have firewall permission — you may need to re-add it.
Disconnect your VPN if you use one. If Discord works without the VPN, configure your VPN to exclude Discord from its traffic routing.

Some VPN servers block Discord. Try connecting to a different VPN server if you need the VPN for other reasons.

When to Call a Professional

Error 1105 is almost always fixable without professional help. If every app and website on your computer fails to connect, contact your internet provider. If only Discord is affected, check Discord's server status and your firewall settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Error 1105 mean my Discord account is banned?

No. Error 1105 is a connection error, not an account error. If your account were banned, you would see a specific ban message when trying to log in, not Error 1105. This error means Discord simply cannot be reached from your device right now.

Error 1105 only happens at certain times of day. Why?

If Discord works fine most of the time but fails during peak hours (evenings, weekends), your internet connection is likely congested. Many users on the same network infrastructure slow it down during peak times. This is common with cable internet — contact your ISP if you experience this regularly.

Can I use Discord in a browser when I get Error 1105 in the app?

Yes. Try going to discord.com in a browser and logging in. If Discord works in the browser but not the app, the problem is specific to the Discord desktop app — try reinstalling it. If neither the app nor browser works, the issue is with your network connection to Discord's servers.
