OK, thanks John.
1. Put the Primary & Secondary IP addresses shown in the “Recommended
configuration” portion of the namebench window into your Modem / Router
i.e 203.50.2.71, 203.0.178.191
2. Save the configuration and reboot the Billion
3. Then Open System Preferences > Network
A) If you connect to your network via Ethernet, select your Ethernet network in
the list on the left, make a note of the addresses in the DNS Server field in
case you ever need to restore them, and then type the 3 recommended new IP
addresses (in the order given) into that field (overwriting whatever’s already
there), separated by commas.
i.e. 203.50.2.71, 203.0.178.191, 203.21.20.20
B) If you connect to your network via Wi-Fi, select your AirPort network in the
list on the left, click Advanced, and then click DNS.
In the column on the left, click the plus + icon, type in the first IP
address that namebench returned, and then do the same for the other two.
i.e 203.50.2.71
203.0.178.191
203.21.20.20
4. Click OK.
5. Close System Preferences.
Monitor your speed for awhile today, then do a restart of your computer, and
then run the namebench tests again.
Please let me know if namebench gives the same results.
Also let me know your speed results, before the peak time later this afternoon
and also later in the busy time when the internet becomes more congested.
Cheers,
Ronni
