If your web pages are taking too much time to load or pages are timing out, chances are that your ISP has a crappy DNS server. This is especially true of some Indian ISPs like BSNL. In case you are suffering from such a problem, you can reconfigure your router to use the OpenDNS servers. All you have to do is type in the following two IP addresses for the DNS server in your Wi-Fi or LAN router:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Apart from providing a faster DNS, OpenDNS also provides you automatic typo corrections. For example, if you type www.jaganath.ner instead of www.jaganath.net, OpenDNS automatically redirects you to the correct URL. It is also a safer way to browse for your grandma because it filters many phishing websites. So go ahead and change your DNS server entries even if you are not facing any problems from your ISP at this time.
