Which is better 1.1.1.1 or 8.8 8.8 for gaming?

What DNS should I use for my Nintendo switch?

We have some fantastic information to share on the DNS you should be using with your Nintendo Switch.

By default, when you connect your Nintendo switch to a wireless router, your switch will be given a dynamic IP address in the 192.168.0/24 subnet. The IP address is generated by your router which can change. These addresses are automatically assigned when connecting to the network, so it's important to know that they can change at any time. So there is a good chance that even when you follow this guide, your IP address can change. The reason for that is that they are dynamic addresses. If you want to be able to connect online whenever you are and wherever you are, you should use an IP address that doesn't change and one that was provided to you by your ISP or carrier provider.

DNS stands for Domain Name System. It is a system that translates webpages, email, and websites into human readable terms. DNS is a vital system and in a few simple steps you can change the DNS that your router has automatically assigned to your Nintendo switch in its 192.0/24 subnet, to something else.

For instance, I had a different WiFi router, but I just had to set it up so that it would not give me a default IP address, I had to go into the WiFi router and manually change the address from 192.192 to 192.100. After a reboot, the IP changed to what I wanted it to be, but my internet could not work because the default IP for the WiFi router (the one that was automatically assigned to me) was still the same as it was before. As soon as I changed the IP address on my router, the DNS automatically changed and everything worked perfectly. My wireless and ethernet connections were both great! This is the process that you need to use to make sure that it is working correctly, so you are not going to be disconnected from the Internet anymore.

As we have mentioned, a big reason why you might want to switch away from default DNS is that a lot of times the default DNS is the ISP's DNS that you are automatically connected to.

Is 1.1.1.1 good for gaming?

I'm still in the planning phase of a home office build, and have started with an i7 desktop on 24" hd.

I want a dual monitor setup for some gaming, so I was looking at using Windows 8.1 with the Xbox live app. I already have 1.1 on my laptop, and it works well as my firewall. Is this better than the native windows firewall or other software? If you have any experience, I'm also curious if 1.1 would work well for gaming and playing media files on the desktop as well as laptop.

Re: Is 1.1 good for gaming? @guru66, as mentioned below, I don't have any experience with it (yet), but did go and look it up. Looks like it's pretty much a firewall replacement toolset, with some extra features as well. Some people do say that it's a bit easier to manage than a proper firewall.

This really depends on your game. Most AAA titles have a pretty good firewall built in, and while you can get a real good one for free for Windows and others, for gaming it seems like having a dedicated app is much more useful. If you're not doing streaming, it's going to be a bit of a drag in terms of memory usage. That could be an issue, as games are usually hungry apps for memory.

There's definitely less clutter in this application, which can save you some time if you do install other applications/software. It's always nice to have the built-in app for what it's meant to do. One thing I've noticed is the inability to block outbound and inbound traffic, though. With 1.1, it's easy to block IP's. But here, it's not possible to block traffic by port. For example, I couldn't tell you if it was blocking something from a specific URL or domain, or blocked a specific port used in a game. In any case, it did help with my LAN troubles.

Thanks for the info and the response.
