    Having to flush the dns to get good internet speed


    Hello!I have a problem with the internet connection. I have an internet speed of around 35mb/s which is very low comparing with the speeds I was getting in the past. If I run the command "ipconfig /flushdns" and restart the computer the speed increases to 750mb/s. After some hours it starts reaching again the initial speed

    :)

    flush dns

    Hello,

    Sorry for the delay in response.



    No, Flush DNS will not reset the IP to default. It only flushes or resets the

    contents of the DNS client resolver cache.



    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further

    assistance.



    Thank you.

    DNS Repeated flushing required

    Just after my last post I followed a suggestion and changed the DNS settings to

    8.8.8.8

    8.8.4.4

    and it seems to have worked!

    I have had no cause to flush the DNS in the last 24 hours. I even shut down and rebooted several times, tried three different browsers and followed dozens of page links.

    So fingers crossed this post can be closed, I just wish I could give a definitive answer to the problem.

    Many thanks to all for your time and suggestions.
