Lag Elimination

[Sandy]

Go into your Wii's settings and go to Internet. Find the connection you are using and change the settings on the DNS page by selecting No -> advanced settings.

Put in the following DNS:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Save, test and check for updates. You should notice a difference.

I just did this, and OH EM GEE, my lag was completely gone.

Don't do this.. use your ISP's DNS server. If that DNS server goes down you system will LOSS all WiFi connectivity.

To get ride of lag, Change your channel on your router and check your internet connection.

I'm just recorded some online matches after I tried this and there was no lag

DNS is name resolution. It takes a name and transfers it to a IP address that your Wii uses to connect. It only happens ONE time at the start of a match.

DNS is like a big phone book… It looks up a number .. Which is your IP.. once the call is made you no longer need the phone book.

Telling people to use your phone book will cause that internet company to start block people from using that phone book in turn causing them to no longer be able to connect to ANYTHING using the internet on the Wii. DO NOT TELL PEOPLE TO DO THIS.[/SIZE]

Your DNS has nothing to do with response time that is depend on the signal between your Wii and your Wireless point.. and the wireless point and it's connection to the person it is communicating with..

If you connect to some one that has a bad connection they you will have lag. What you are telling people is very bad and inaccurate.

Lose Wifi connectivity meaning what? My downloads will still be there?

Xpnet is right. Doing this is not a good idea. Just wait till nintendo fixes their servers.

how u know nintendo is even attempting at fixing thier servers?

 

[FartKnocker]

I don't see any way this could possibly help with the lag.

....can someone else confirm it does?

EDIT: It looks like it's just the OPENDNS server addresses.

 

[Sethisto]

It does help somewhat, I did it a while back.

As for no connectivity on the wii, I would assume you could simply change your settings once that actually happens...

correct me if i'm wrong.

 

[Sandy]

You're right. Just go to wii settings and chose "Auto Obtain DNS"

 

[bxstone585]

Im Tryin It Now I'll See If It Works

 

[bxstone585]

well it seems to work fine but the lagin i think now is coming from other ppl now
here's my
FC: 1117-9891-1924
NAME: STONE

 

[FmAiGkGeO]

So go and change set up to auto obtain DNS? If that's the case I'll try it out. I'm not feeling the current online.

 

[Sandy]

No, that's how you reverse it. Read the first post again.

 

[Yoshistar64]

I don't know whether to do this or not... xpnet made a good point with the DNS thing, so should I do this or not? If there's even the slightest risk of anything very bad happening then I'm not going to do it.

 

[sHy)(gUy]

i dunno i think ur safe doing it cuz if something goes wrong u can just switch back to auto obtain dns

 

[Yoshistar64]

But the "Lose all Wi-fi connectivity" part is what I'm a little unsure about.

I just did this, and OH EM GEE, my lag was completely gone.
