Changing DNS servers
What is DNS server: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_server

Q:Is there any advantages in changing DNS servers other than gaining more performance?
A: yes, more Security[www.makeuseof.com].

This part of the guide shows you how to change your DNS servers to the Cloudflare's[www.cloudflare.com]. now take a look at the image below

And here is the official list of Google CDNs across the globe: https://cloud.google.com/cdn/docs/locations

as you can see, Cloudflare has got a lot more servers than Google does so no matter which part of the world you are, Cloudflare can give you faster DNS responses than other DNS servers. Cloudflare runs one of the largest authoritative DNS networks in the world.

Optimizing Wireless connection
Nowadays with advanced technologies it doesn't matter much if you're using Wireless or Wired Internet connection as long as you use the right equipment.

few things to keep in mind:
If your wireless router is in another room or another floor depending on the material used inside your walls or interference caused by other wireless devices around your area you will see a drop in your signal, so built in wireless adapters like in laptops or on PC motherboards with their small antennas won't do you any good.
the best Wireless network adapters available in the market for normal/pro users are these[www.alfa.com.tw]. they are powerful, they have features that are rarely found in consumer wireless network adapters and they got great penetrative ability and they come with detachable upgradeable antennas.
In the end
There are of course a dozen other ways to improve your connection performance but they either can decrease your security level or they're too trivial to be included in this guide. however I'll try to keep this updated once I get new ideas.
