Setting DNS on Airport Extreme 802.11ac time capsule
I'm having troubles navigating within one website (macintosh.com). Internal links on the site are resolved not at all or VERY slowly. At first I thought this was a Safari configuration problem, because in Chrome I could get the home page to load much more quickly than from Safari, but it's possible Chrome actually first loaded a cached page. I did everything I could think of to "clean" Safari (there's no longer a "Reset Safari" in the last few iterations of the macOS). That didn't help. So, I tried changing DNS servers in my Airport Extreme. I had 1.1.1.1 entered, deleted that (discovering the IPv4 addresses for my charter/Spectrum ISP in "grayed out" text "behind" them, entered the address for OpenDNS, rebooted the router and didn't see any improvement. I have no idea what's wrong.
Does anyone know what the additional ISP-provided DNS server addresses lying "behind" the user-designated address do? Does the router check four, rather than two, addresses?
I have IPv6 set to "configure automatically." Should I set it to "Link local" (which I think means it's only active locally, and I CERTAINlY don't need it myself on my tiny LAN. Should I disable it? Anything else I should try?
Thanks so much for any suggestions.
