5g home internet - some sites won't load
My big gray cylinder 5G Home internet has good signal and works reliably. But some percent of websites I visit simply refuse to load via the TMo 5g device, yet they work fine if I use my Verizon cell...
I don't have a solution--just another data point. Everything (including that URL for Judi Glove) works fine on my MacBook, on all three gateway wifi bands (2.4 and both the 5G bands). My MacBook is wifi 6 capable.
I'm using an M1 MacBook Air, macOS Monterey 12.3, using mostly default network settings. Configure IPV4: Using DHCP. Configure IPV6: Automatically. I did add the Google DNS servers in my network configuration (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), as J-Mac did, but I always do that very first when setting up new networks, so I don't know how it would have been with different ones. I also have the gateway itself (192.168.12.1) in the DNS server list.
Works fine with Safari, Firefox, and Chrome browsers.
I know it doesn't help solve the problem, but I add that info as another data point. As a retired IT guy (database, security, and network), most of the time when I faced problems connecting to only some (but not all) web sites, it was a DNS issue.
