I am following the "how to speed up your internet guide" and I did step B and C a bit different. I have a gigabyte board with a killer network driver. I deleted the old driver and updated to the new driver. When I got to options C my drop down had more options and did not have the Multimedia/Gaming Environment option. Anything I should do differently for this step?

Additionally, in step 3 of running the DNS Benchmark, it tells you what to change your DNS server to but not how. Is there a guide for this too?

Thanks.

Hello

Hopefully the author of the guide and those who tested it will chime in soon..

Use DNS jumper to change your dns, the guide shows this. :)

Hello Cory, hope you don't mind me butting in but does your board have 2 network ports? If so I would recommend disabling the Killer network port and use the regular Intel network port and driver.

Thank you Malnutrition and Gus,
Here are the directions from the internet speed guide. It is having you test for the fastest but cut and paste the safest. So I am not for sure what to do.

Here are the screen shots of the options with in the driver.

Gus, I do like the Killer manager to help with prioritizing my gaming software over other things that are going on.

I have been getting high ping spikes playing overwatch.


Thank you.

You can try the fastest from the DNS benchmark or use the adblocking DNS in the guide. I listed the adblocking DNS to give people an idea on how to change the DNS without really saying it.

I'd just leave that set to default. Nothing in there of interest.

Sounds good. I tried both DNS options and the speed is about the same.

Ok, the guide is meant to be done in full, so with everything you should notice an improvement.
Doing one thing or the other may not see much of an increase.
A couple machines that I performed the guide on showed drastic improvements.
A couple showed very minimal, good news is that none showed negative results.
I hope it works out for you.

The last item I linked you to shuts down the Telemetry as well as the link below, but this one does a lot more to stop windows 10 from invading your privacy.

Since they were both about the same, then I'd suggest the ad blocking DNS so that it blocks ads. Ads will steal bandwidth -- in turn slow down page loading etc...
