An important point in the blurb is to check the DNS on all connection methods—Ethernet, wi-fi, etc.—even if you don't use all of them.

This is my DNS, before I switch to below
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

DNS Now
75.75.75.75
75.75.76.76
2001: 558:feed::1
2001: 558:feed::2

Is this ok to use or tell me which one is better
Thank You

Your original numbers are the addresses of Google's servers; what's the source of your new numbers?

More: It looks like your new DNS addresses are for Comcast/Xfinity's servers.

I think I already answered.

Judging by Google, your numbers come from Comcast/Xfinity, i.e. your router (I guess).

I've got no idea whether its preferable for you to use them or the Google numbers.
