Not everyone has access to ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi and 5G mobile data. Therefore, browsing the Web or downloading applications will take more time than necessary. Fortunately, there are things that can help you increase the internet speed on your Android device.
Some of these techniques may not necessarily increase your Internet speed. However, it will help you browse the web faster and more efficiently. Therefore, without further ado, please check the following tips to speed up the internet connection on Android.
Use an alternative DNS service
By default, your internet service providers might impose restrictions or route traffic at a slower rate. However, DNS services such as Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 aim to speed up your in a secure and easy way. In case you have noticed your internet speed has reduced, you might want to check out an alternative DNS service.
We’d recommend giving Cloudfare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver a shot. This DNS service does not log any data of yours. Therefore, you can browse the web securely and you might also get faster internet speed.
STEPS:
- Download and install the app from the Google Play Store
1.1.1.1: Faster & Safer Internet - Set up the app and enable the DNS service by toggling on the switch.
You could also do this the manual way by following these steps.
- Go to your Settings and then select the network options.
- Depending on your OEM, you should see a Private DNS option. If not, search for the term ‘DNS‘on the Settings page.
- Once you’ve located the option, select Private DNS provider hostname and enter in the following text:
1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com - Tap on Save.
Once you’ve enabled the new DNS provider, try loading up a website or download an app to see for any improvements. Using a third-party DNS resolver does not always guarantee improved internet speed. However, this definitely does work in most cases and users have noticed a slight improvement in internet speed.
