I also heard that the advantage of using Google public dns is that, it offers more speed and is much more secure. It also provide add free sites to you. The configuration steps are follows:
# You need to enter the IP address of your routers as admin console.
# click the Basic Settings tab on the left hand side.
# Then scroll down to Domain Name Server (DNS) Address. And select Choose these DNS servers.
# Replace those address fields with Google IP addresses: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
# Click Apply and then Test the new settings.

When you use Google Public DNS, It means that you are changing your DNS operator from your ISP to Google Public DNS. Sometimes it will sets automatically by your Internet service provider by the help of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Basically in Google Public DNS, you need to change the DNS settings in your operating system. you may also contact your system admin to check this. Best of luck.

I am using Mac Operating System, and the changing DNS server is as follows:
# Click System Preferences from the Apple menu, and then click on Network.
# If the lock icon in the lower left-hand corner of the window is locked, click the icon to make changes, and when prompted to authenticate, enter your password.
# Select the connection for which you want to configure Google Public DNS.
# Select the DNS tab.
# Click + to replace any listed addresses with, or add, the Google IP addresses at the top of the list: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
