Hey guys,

 

 

 

Apologies if this is not the right location for this, it was hard to find one where it would fit.

 

I have noticed in the past few days/weeks that I can't seem to be loading up (most) photos on facebook, either when browsing from the app on my phone (when on wifi) or from my home computer (ethernet to the router). On my phone, it starts working when I disable wifi and switch over to 4G so I have ruled out a phone/app issue.

 

Everything is pointing at an issue with my router or internet connection. It's not a massive deal but this has me curious and I am wondering if any of you geniuses had any idea about what might be causing this.

 

Cheers

It looks like your ISP's problem, since you tested with 4G. 

 

We should move this thread to the correct ISP, if you name it.

This sounds like an incorrect MTU on your router. What router are you using?

I think last time this happened to me on 2 degrees, turning off ipv6 on fritzbox fixed it.  I've since re-enabled and it works fine, but perhaps try that?
