Google offers a free public DNS called Google DNS. DNS services’s working is when you type in a web address, the DNS services look up the IP address of the server and send you to the website.Every ISP has its own DNS (Domain Name Server) but some time it response very slowly which affect your internet browsing speed. To increase your browsing speed you can use Google public DNS which are much faster than any other DNS server. Switching from the default ISP DNS services to Google Public DNS will speed up your internet and it is free.

I followed the steps on “Steps to Setup DNS” down to number 11, but now I do not see how to Disable and enable LAN. Could you give me more details on how to do that?
