Hi Dimers Good evening

need help/suggestion on Keeping DNS server in my Airtel network settings (router)

Am doing work from home. My airtel connection is very stable in speeds constantly getting 48 to 50mbps for 40mbsp connection. But sometimes usually around 3pm to 6pm while doing work for my company the pages dont load fast . but at the same time the speed used to be very stable and good. I doubt on the latency speed for browsing, So i thought of changing the DNS address in the route setttings,

Doubt - if i change the dns address in route settings will it be useful for me to overcome this issue?

Thinking of to keep google / nextdns or adguard dns addresses. pls suggest. below pic is the present dns address am using.

It doesn't have to be a DNS issue for example it could be a simple network overusage or some other factor. DNS is usually served on UDP and responds under 100ms even for servers located outside of region, My DNS server responds with an average latency of 35ms and average 48ms on DoH proxied through CF, and let me say even if these are not high enough like CF claims around 13.66ms it's still comsidered fast enough given that the DNS queries are mostly cached in local machine as well. So my best bet is network overusage or some other limiting factors. Try checking other aspects and don't rely on speedtest or fast results there's a lot of things in network that gives the speed results, try different speedtest services like CF and independent speedtest servers. More power to you.

tracert is a traceroute utility and available to use via windows powershell or cmd, you can get a overview of network requests it generates when we visit a single website like for example "tracert bizli.net" gives me all the requests we generate along with time taken to get to that specific website.

Open cmd

Type tracert google.com

Check this  at morning and evening .see your ping data if there is ping spike that may be routing issues

Simply use dns what your router IP is.

Like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
