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.
On a Mac since 1984.
Currently: 24" M1 iMac, M2 Pro Mac mini with 27" BenQ monitor, M2 Macbook Air, MacOS 14.x; iPhones, iPods (yes, still) and iPads.

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.
