Apps downloading is pretty slow

Hi Rich,
I have done as you said. Edited it and confirmed that it has the saved change in nameserver with cat /etc/resolv.conf. I did not restart my wifi adapter or reboot. The resolv.conf automatically changes.
@aus9
But I have a DASAN Router which is configured to use 192.168.55.1 as the router page.
Rich:
Hi Sashank999
So with the changes, is your web browsing any better? Are your downloads any faster?

Hi, Sashank999. I agree with Rich that trying a different DNS server is an important step in troubleshooting your issue. A slow DNS server can have a dramatic impact on page load speed. I've experienced this issue myself.
Some network managers try to be "helpful" and automatically change the contents of /etc/resolv.conf. Openvpn sometimes also changes /etc/resolv.conf without your permission. There are different ways to prevent unauthorized changes to /etc/resolv.conf. An easy way that will work regardless of your setup is to make the file immutable. Go ahead and edit /etc/resolv.conf to your liking, then do this:
--- Code: ---$ tce-load -wi e2fsprogs
$ sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
--- End code ---
Now the file will be left in peace (until you reboot or run sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf) and you can see if the DNS server change helps your issue.

Did I misunderstand you?
Are you saying that the /etc/resolv.conf file changes back to 192.168.55.1 even though you did not reboot or restart your
wireless adapter?

@GNUser
Thank You for the suggestion. I did it. But then chattr replied with :
--- Code: ---chattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on /etc/resolv.conf
--- End code ---
So, I added -f flag(help by Google). Then it replied no messages and hence I thought all was good. Then again, it changed back to its original. I think it deleted the file and made another one instead of it.
I use no network managers. I just do
--- Code: ---sudo wifi.sh -a &
--- End code ---
in my aterm and then close aterm and open firefox.
@Rich
Yes. That is what I mean. It just changes back to its original form.
