I've got an interesting internet problem that I've searched all over the net for but can't find any information on it.. I used to have a netgear router and everything worked fine, recently I got a linksys WRT610N router and thats when the problems began.
The details:
I can connect to the internet through wifi, games and downloads run very fast and with no problems, however when just browsing the internet, it runs slow at times..
It sometimes loads pages with no problem, but most of the time, even with simple sites like google.com, it will load a random portion, like maybe just the title, or half the page, then stop. Sometimes it will load the rest of the page after 20-30 seconds, sometimes it wont and you have to refresh.
Other times it wont even begin to load the page and you have to go to the page again to get it to load..
If the page has recently been loaded (last minute or so) they can load again with no problem.
This problem happens in Firefox and Safari. Opera just flat out wont load pages, unless you go to the page in another browser first. (ie try to load google in Opera, it wont work, then load it in Firefox, retry it in Opera, it will load)
Other computers on the network that are both on wifi and wired all work, however they are all windows. So it doesn't seem like it is the wifi or the router, but something between the new router and my mac just isnt working..
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, it sucks not being able to browse the internet easily..
