Another way to fix the 3194 error code is to remotely reset the device. To do that, follow the steps below:

3. Click the Erase button in the iOS device's card and confirm your decision;
   * By erasing your device, you will lose all the personal data in it, including your photos, music, videos, etc. Ensure that you have backed them up first on another place (by default they should be, on iCloud) before clicking on Erase.
   
   
4. Set up your device, as when you bought it. You'll be given the choice to choose a back-up from iCloud or iTunes, or to proceed with a new, fresh install.

Maybe you get the error code 3194 because the iTunes version installed in your computer is outdated. In this case, all you need to do is to update it, either via iTunes itself or by downloading it from Apple's website.

To check if your iTunes version is up-to-date (and update it, if it's not), open iTunes, click on Help and select Check for Updates.

If you get the error code 3194 when restoring or downgrading your device, try bypassing the router as it may be the one which prevents iTunes from accessing the update server. All you need to do is to unplug the Ethernet cable from the router and plug it directly in your computer.

Maybe restarting the computer will fix this issue. Try restarting it first and then try restoring or downgrading your device.
