๐ How to Boost Internet Speed on Android Using DNS Settings (No App Needed)

- Tap and hold your connected Wi-Fi → Choose Modify network
- Tap Advanced options

- Scroll to DNS fields:
Set DNS 2: 8.8.4.4
(Google Public DNS)
DNS 1: 1.1.1.1
DNS 2: 1.0.0.1
✅ Save changes and reconnect to your Wi-Fi.
⚡ What You’ll Notice:
