Change DNS on IPTV devices?

DNS servers have a big effect on IPTV streaming. There aren’t any required steps to speed up the internet, but there are a lot of small changes and improvements that can be made. All of these improvements work together to speed up the internet, with DNS servers playing a starring role.

Before switching to a different DNS address, you should write down your current DNS address to make sure you keep these numerical values in case you need to go back to the original settings. If the initial configuration was set to “Automatic,” all you have to do is change your DNS settings back to “Automatic.” The above instruction is valid for all of the devices mentioned in this discourse.
