Geek Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/iphone-dns.jpg" alt="Set iPhone DNS " title="iphone-dns" width="620" height="359" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24941" /></p> <p>If your <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/iphone/">iPhone</a> Wi-Fi connection seems inexplicably slow, particularly when having moved from one wireless network to another, try manually setting custom DNS servers. This speeds up the response time and your wireless connectivity in general:</p> <ul> <li>Open Settings</li> <li>Tap on “Wi-Fi” and tap the blue arrow alongside the wi-fi network name you are connected to</li> <li>Tap the numbers next to “DNS” to change them</li> </ul> <p>For the best results, use a tool in Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux like <a href="http://code.google.com/p/namebench/">NameBench</a>, a free utility to help <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/02/23/find-a-fast-dns-server/">find the fastest DNS server</a> for your geographical location. Here are two choices that are typically very fast and reliable:</p> <p>Google DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4</p> <p>OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220</p> <p>This is a particularly worthwhile tip for those using older iOS devices like the iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G devices, but it can also make a noticeable difference for newer hardware including the iPhone 4, 4S, iPad, and iPad 2.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/B6qgTMxq5WvWc8lUYNx5vB0Wsqw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/B6qgTMxq5WvWc8lUYNx5vB0Wsqw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/B6qgTMxq5WvWc8lUYNx5vB0Wsqw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/B6qgTMxq5WvWc8lUYNx5vB0Wsqw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=D2OgPZY-DtA:Nr_QpJdKwgw:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=D2OgPZY-DtA:Nr_QpJdKwgw:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=D2OgPZY-DtA:Nr_QpJdKwgw:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=D2OgPZY-DtA:Nr_QpJdKwgw:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=D2OgPZY-DtA:Nr_QpJdKwgw:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=D2OgPZY-DtA:Nr_QpJdKwgw:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=D2OgPZY-DtA:Nr_QpJdKwgw:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/D2OgPZY-DtA" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
