Speed Up Internet Connection by Changing Your Domain Name System (DNS) Server

Note: Before changing your DNS addresses, you must have the new DNS address ready to be entered. If you do not know the DNS address, contact your ISP or the company/school IT department. If you're wanting to use OpenDNS, the addresses are DNS1: 208.67.222.222 and DNS2: 208.67.220.220. If you want to use Google's DNS, its addresses are DNS1: 8.8.8.8 and DNS2: 8.8.4.4.
