Edit: There was a problem with a signal on the ISP side, few neighbors had this problem as well.
So today I’ve noticed that all the web pages take
too long to load, some services even give me ‘timeout’ message.
It’s happening to all devices connected to my home wifi.
At first, I thought that one of the devices is using too much of data, and I’ve disconnected all of them and tried with only one device having opened, but the websites still loaded too slow.
I’ve checked the internet speed, and it’s high as usual(150mbps), ping and upload as well are regular.
Reboot your router. You can also change your DNS to OpenDNS or Google’s DNS. You can look those up and see if it helps. There may be something wrong along the route your data and requests takes so changing the DNS will send it a different way.
You said you did a ping, did you also do a tracert to see if the lag is due to a slow server between your local network and the websites you want to view?
As others have said, try a different DNS provider. You can change it on each individual device, or some routers will let you change it for all the devices connected to it at once.
we need to start banning people who solve the issue and dont tell us what solved it. im having this issue and none of the reddit posts have the answers
yes, more than likely you are having a dns issue. I would say to start by going into your router setting settings and making sure the dns is set to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and not your internet service provider.
Also you can try to reboot the router, and if that does not work, you can update the firmware of the router to see if that resolves the issue.
The internet only uses numbers to connect anywhere. DNS is the internet’s “phone book.” Whenever your computer looks for a name like “reddit.com” it asks your DNS server about it, and the server returns some numbers like “151.101.193.140.” With that number, all the routers that make up the internet can find reddit.
Your home internet router is probably, by default, your DNS server. But it doesn’t know everything about the internet, so it asks another DNS server, which is most likely your Internet Service Provider’s DNS server, which might ask another server after that. If any of those servers in the chain are running poorly, loading a page might take a while to look up every image, video, script, etc., on it.
So by changing your computer’s DNS to 8.8.8.8 (google) or 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare), you can bypass the current chain, and your computer will ask the big boys directly.
Also, if changing your DNS works to speed up your computer, you may be able to make the same change in your home router’s web configuration, most likely in the “DHCP” section. That’s more advanced, so make sure you make notes so you can undo a mistake. If that works, then your choice of DNS server will proliferate to your cell phone and other network devices.
I am by no means an expert. Though this is what I think to know what he means.
You can acces your DNS settings in your wifi settings. It will let you input an adress so to say.
This is from google:
"The Domain Name System (DNS) protocol is an important part of the web’s infrastructure, serving as the Internet’s phone book: every time you visit a website, your computer performs a DNS lookup. Complex pages often require multiple DNS lookups before they start loading, so your computer may be performing hundreds of lookups a day.
Try it out
Configure your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers."
As far as I know its completely safe. You can acces them by going to the settings on your device. Heading to internet settings. Find DNS settings and it’ll let you choose one.
