Speed Up Your Web Browsing with Google Public DNS

Are you looking for a faster way to browse the Internet and have pages load faster?

DNS (Domain Name System) translates an IP address to an easy to remember hostname.

Alternatively, you might enter internet and Sharing Center into the search box in the Start Menu.

Now right-hit Local Area Connection and select Properties.

If you have a wireless connection, right-tap on Wireless internet Connection and click Properties.

The Internet Protocol Version 4 Properties window comes up.

Basically, browse around to your bookmarked sites and see to it they display properly.

Add Google DNS to Your Router

In this example, we are using a Belkin Wireless Router.

Each router varies but the principle is the same.

Go into your router configuration tweaks by typing the Router IP into your online window.

For example, for the Belkin router, the default is 192.168.2.1.

Enter the router password if you’re asked for it, then find the DNS parameters.

In our Belkin example, it is under Internet WAN.

Enter in the login password again if asked for it.

Now enter in the primary and secondary DNS addresses and apply changes.

After the router reboots, go through and test the parameters to verify they work.

choose the Ethernet or Wireless connection and choose Edit.

press the IPv4 parameters tab and change the Method drop-down box to Automatic (DHCP) address only.

In the DNS Servers field enter in the two Google DNS addresses separated by a space then click Apply.

punch in in your system password and press Authenticate and close out of the remaining screens.

Then go through your web client and see to it the tweaks were successful.

I’ve read varying reports, and it looks like international users will benefit a lot from using it.
