Noticed in last few weeks internet connectivity would 'pause' momentarily, maybe 5 - 10 seconds when loading web pages, or seeking any new information such as iTunes updates.
This often resulted in the web browser (normally Chrome) returning a page not found or unable to connect error, a few seconds later this would either correct itself or a quick refresh would see things promptly up and running. Frequent 'cannot connect to server' issues with iTunes as well which I assume was related.
Other devices on the network also seem to have the same 'pause' before doing anything on the net.
Looking online I ended up disabling IPV6 in the network settings, and presto all the issues are gone.
Mixed information on disabling IPV6. As yet haven't noticed a downside. Does this affect anything in a simple home setup? Has this fixed the problem or just worked around it? Can IPV6 be disabled at the modem so all devices are effected?
Thanks.
