A effective way to boost your internet performance is by changing the DNS (Domain Name System) server on your PC. The DNS is responsible for translating website names into IP addresses, and if your current DNS server is slow or unreliable, it can cause delays in loading websites.
Switching to a faster and more reliable DNS server — such as Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1) — can improve the browsing experience. Here's how to change your DNS server on Windows:
-Press Windows + I to open the Settings app.
-Switch to the Network & internet tab and click the Properties option in the right pane.
-Click the Edit button next to "DNS server assignment."
-Click the drop-down menu to select Manual.
-Enable the IPv4 toggle.
-Type the primary and secondary DNS server addresses in the Preferred DNS and Alternate DNS fields, respectively.
-Click the Save button to apply the changes.
This has worked for me. If you have an older modem or router, a new high-speed model can save you some cussing.
