Helllo,

No matter what I do I It takes ages for web pages to come up.

I cannot get the DNS settings right
Quote:
Automatic IP
IP adress:

Netmask 255.255.255.0

Gateway


DNS Server1 1.1.1.1

DNS Server2 1.0.0.1

I Get this
IP Address should be in this format 1.2.3.4

It's your DNS server. Change it to another one. See google "dns 1.1.1.1 slow"

Also try Quad9 DNS https://www.quad9.net/

Thank you it seems tobe fixed now.
Cheers Nigel.

Please don't forget to mark the thread as solved, by editing the subject of the first post and prefix it with [SOLVED], thanks in advance.

This is still doing it.
If I turn off the modem/router it is ok for a while, then it slows down again.

Why do you still use that DNS server when it's slow to respond sometimes ?
Try the google DNS servers or quad 9 as mentioned above. Cloudflare has some network threat protection which might slow down some queries.

I cannot change the dns. When I try to change the settings It says IP Adress should be in format 1.2.3.4.

please post a picture or a link to a picture of where you see that message

Because that is how it should be. Question is what do you actually put in there?
I'd recommend 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for the 2 google DNS servers
