DNS helps your device find the services it needs to connect to online. If your current DNS isn't responding correctly, temporarily switching to a public DNS can help determine whether it's contributing to connection issues.
On most newer Android devices, DNS can be changed using Private DNS. Menu names may vary slightly depending on your device manufacturer or Android version.
