For the past couple hours, I have tried to log on to the server, but with no avail. I have re-logged into my Minecraft account and restarted my computer; however, I either get a "Timed out" or "The authentication servers are down for maintenance" prompt. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
I once upon a time had this issue to, try restarting YOUR WiFi router, and see if this helps. It should, if it doesn't go onto your computer and run like a little thing where it just clears any issues on the computer, thats what I did. It worked. If it doesn't work for you, I am sorry.
Make sure you are using the newest Minecraft launcher/client Take down any Firewalls or VPNs you may be using Flush your DNS and then unplug your router and then plug it back in Sign in and out of your Minecraft account from the launcher Create a new profile on the Minecraft launcher and see if you still have the problem See if any of these help.
