This tutorial will show you how to change the DNS on your IPTV devices such as MAG, different Smart TVs, Android and iOS. Changing your DNS settings is usually mentioned as one of the simplest ways to optimise your internet speed and solve many issues you might encounter while streaming IPTV channels.

DNS servers play a significant role in IPTV streaming. While there are no mandatory tasks to improve internet speeds, we can make many more minor tweaks and improvements. These improvements work together to increase our internet speed, and the DNS servers play an essential role. What is IPTV?
