Gardener Corner slow turning page's

Hello @Jiffy

To change the DNS addresses in Windows 10 /11 through the Settings app, use these steps:

• Open Settings.
• Click on Network & Internet.
• Click on Ethernet.
• Select the connection that connects Windows 10 /11 to the network.
• Click the Edit button under the "IP settings" section.
• Use the "Edit IP settings" drop-down menu and select the Manual option.
• Turn on the IPv4 toggle switch.
• Enter the Primary DNS address under the "Preferred DNS server" section.
  
  Googles Primary DNS Server: 8.8.8.8

• Enter the Secondary DNS address under the "Alternate DNS server" section.
  
  Googles Secondary DNS Server: 8.8.4.4
  
  
• Click the Save button.
• Restart the device.

After you complete the steps, you should now be able to connect to the internet using the new DNS Servers.

A Restart may be necessary to regain an IP address configuration for the device.

I am using the Google DNS Servers above but any Public DNS Servers can be used, Googles DNS Servers are just easy to remember.

I use Windows 11 so the above is from Memory.

I Hope the above makes sense, however, if you have any Questions then.....

I'll have to think about it Kevin as knowing my luck it will go pear shape

 

Hello @Jiffy

There is not really anything that you can do wrong.

If you feel as though you have made a Mistake, simply Reverse the Changes by Selecting Automatic rather that Manual in Step 6 above.

I sometimes fail to realise that not everyone is as comfortable with Technology as I am.

Being Autistic, Technology I understand, People not so much

I Hope this Helps

Hello @Jiffy

Good to Hear that you managed to follow my Instructions.

I think it is Safe to say that your Issues may be related to the Work being done.

Have you tried Contacting your ISP to see if there are any known Issues in your Area?

Well, i've just had an up date on Firefox and the turning of page's is a lot faster now!!! not sure if it will last but hope so

Looks like it was a problem with search engine's, haven't tryed Bing yet!!

 

Still slow on my ipad, feel certain that the Apple security update a couple of weeks ago is to blame.

 

I've found the problem to be very intermittent. Sometimes no problem at all, sometimes I just give up, sometimes clicking a couple of times takes me through. I also have problems posting where it's necessary to click 'Post Reply' several times.
