Hey guys,
I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on an issue I have been having! I've just got a new Macbook Pro, and since ever since having it I have had issues with the internet. Forgive me if I;m not able to explain very well what is going on, but ill give it my best shot.
So I'm Wi-Fi to connect, which is on a 10mb connection, and using Safari on the Mac. When I first open Safari, the apple home page loads straight away no issue. I tend to be able to use the net for about 10 minutes without any issue. Then, for no reason whatsoever, Ill click on a link or type a web address, and it will take FOREVER to load, sometimes it won't load at all. I;m not talking anything heavy with pics or video, just a standard webpage, it could be anything. The other issue I have, is for example like today, I was on the guardian website, and I opened a few links in some new tabs, probably about 8 in total and the same thing always happens. Some load instantly, some take forever, so fail to open at all. If I turn the Wifi off on the Mac, and literally straight back on again, and refresh any page, it will load instantly. then after a few minutes same thing happens. Then after a while, it will go back to normal again and so forth and so forth! It's becoming quite frustrating.
The best way I can describe it, is its like the router is getting 'clogged up' and struggles to get any info to my Mac. then after a while, it de-clogs itself and were good to go for a few minutes again.
I've never had this problem, with my main pc which is connected wirelessly, or even my little netbook I was using as a laptop before this. I was able to open as many links and tabs as I wanted with no issue, and never had hang times like this whilst waiting for anything to open!
I;m not sure what is going on! When my Mac is downloading big files, it never seems to have any problems and the d/l speed stays pretty consistent. I've run speediest at various points during various days, and I'm getting a pretty steady 10mb.
Anyone that can shed any light would be a lifesaver!!
Thanks in advance!
