Many people always complain that their internet connection is too slow... The fact is that 9 times out of 10 your DNS is slowing down your connection.

When you go to a page from your browser it sends a request to your ISP's DNS server and resolves the IP of the site you want to go to. Unfortunately, your ISP's DNS servers may not be the most suitable for you to use. However, it's easy to re-configure your settings and find the best DNS server with the fastest response times for your location.

First you'll have to navigate to http://www.dnsserverlist.org/ and scroll down a little until you see a box containg a list of 3 IP addresses. These are the top 3 DNS servers based on your location.

Now simply open your Local Area Connection properties (open Network and Sharing Center and click on Manage Network Connections in left pane > right click Local Area Connection > click Properties)

In the list of protocols click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click the Properties button.

On the General tab, at the bottom section choose the radio button that says "Use the following DNS server addresses:" and place the first 2 ip addresses from http://www.dnsserverlist.org/ in the boxes available below.

Click OK and click OK again to close the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.

That's it!

Alternatively, you can also set your DNS for your network via your router if you use a wireless router like Linksys, D-link, Belkin, etc... This method will allow all devices on the network to automatically configure the DNS and share the same settings. For specific instructions on how to do so you should consult your routers manual.
