For several weeks now, I have noticed that Chrome takes 5 - 10 seconds to load almost any webpage, but only if Wifi is on and connected. On LTE, its no more than 2 seconds to load a new (non-cached) page. This includes my home network (50 Mbps, Linksys EA6100 Router), work (Cisco waps, 10Mbps), and a university network (Speedtests show 160Mbps). I was getting this issue on Stock 5.0.1 and I'm still getting it on Cataclysm 5.0.1 (ElementalX Kernel). I also cleared Chrome's cache and it got a little better. Just a little though. I downloaded Firefox and it does pretty much the same thing. I'm at a loss.

Anyone getting an issue where the stock browser will randomly intermittently stop loading webpages?
It doesn't crash but no pages will finish loading, with blue bar stuck halfway.
Reboot fixes it, killing process doesn't.
100% sure its not the network because no other devices are affected. Also chrome is fine.
I've had to use chrome instead but I prefer stock!
Stock ICS HK Tab ZLSP7 firmware rooted.
I've noticed a few hangs with the stock browser when using 3G connection.
Seems to be the actual data connection and not the actual browser though, as when I use the tab as a wired dongle to hook my netbook up to 3G I also seem to get intermittent and unpredictable hangs. Usually if I wait, the connection will return after a couple of minutes.
Often, doing an 'ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew on the PC will restore the network connection immediately. Also disconnecting from packet data and reconnecting from the config menu on the tab fixes it quickly.
(This is running Honeycomb).

Hello! I flashed the stock image two days ago, as I was not part of the initial wave. Everything seems to be working great, but with one exception. When connected to wifi, anything that must pull information from the web has major lag. For example, opening facebook (or facebook messenger), or instagram, or twitter. You get the idea. Opening facebook messenger, for instance, takes around 9 seconds to load a conversation.
I did a ping test through my phone, using google.com, and found that it took around 9100 ms.
If I disconnect from wifi, which switches me to LTE, this issue disappears.
Switching from wireless 2.4 ghz to 5 ghz makes no difference.
While I have found bug reports about problems connecting to wifi, I haven't really found anyone with this specific issue. If anyone has any thoughts, I would greatly appreciate them.
Update:
Speed test shows that my wifi connection is running at normal pace. Ping test showed a delay, so I am assuming that is where the problem is. This problem does not occur on any other of my devices using my wlan.
I'm experiencing the same thing, unsure of what's going on. Facebook is so sluggish and everything else I do on the Internet seems to be so slow...
Same for me
I am also having issues with WIFI on Lollipop. I always seem to be connected to the network but when I open apps that use the internet connection, it takes forever to load. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other mainstream apps are having a real hard time loading images
I am having the same problem.
Weird thing is that I was at a different location today and used the wifi there without any problems. Didn't have time to figure out what was different with their network configuration.
Same problem here.. both on my phone and my wife's. If anyone here hears of a solution... please post back.
Fixed

Actually... I fixed this.. I have a D-Link-655 Router.. I had a firmware from 2012 on it.. I updated to the latest from 2013 and I no longer have problems with wifi-lag on mine or my wife's phones with Lollipop. Something to consider before fussing with IPv6 settings.
I'm having difficulties using Wi-Fi without a VPN. Up until yesterday my Wi-Fi was working brilliantly. Instant page loads, fast download speed.
I flashed Exodus R6 nightly build 2 days and had no problems. There was no lag in the internet, working well. I decided to hop onto my VPN and used it for a few hours. Then my internet went to ****.
I turned off the VPN. It was taking a long time to load pages, pages where timing out. So I decided to flash the latest build. Cleared dalvik cache 3 times after installing the latest build. Reset Wi-Fi, nice and fresh build. Restored my apps and I still had the problem. The problem is still existent.
I can still use my mobile data without any VPN. I've also ran a virus scan with Avast which turned up clean. Tried multiple web browsers and apps that use the internet and still no luck.
Suggestions?
Using PrivateInternetAccess as my VPN. Other computers work just fine with the wireless.
This is my story:
I have finally fixed my Nexus 5 that had a broken motherboard issue since Septamber 2015 (I didn´t find anyone who could fix it here in Uruguay).
Once It turned on it connected to my home's Wi-Fi and starting suggesting uploads. And I did, first to Android M, then January 2016 fix, then February's and March's.
And then after waiting for all the apps to update, I started using it.
I quickly noticed the battery drain regarding wifi and I looked up in the forums and fixed it (i think). But then some other things came up, but, the most important is:
When I connect my phone to my home Wi-Fi, it just takes all the bandwidth, and if I do an adsl test on my pc, it displays the downloading speed down to 1.x instead of 15.x Mbps.
Thing is, when I am connected, even the internet speed of my phone is slow. and when I turn Wi-Fi off on my phone, my pc´s Wi-Fi´s speed is back to 15.x Mbps, and my phone on LTE has a normal internet traffic.
I have tried to search for this issue over the internet, but maybe it is a translation issue not finding the right word, but only the "battery drain due to wifi issue on android" comes up.
Any clue?
Thanks.
After updating my z5p to 6.0.1 a few days ago, I'm having an issue when my device is on wifi. It'll take forever to load pages on chrome or update message on apps such as line or skype. Browsing reddit takes 10-20 seconds to load pages too. If I switch wifi off and use mobile data, everything is instant and fast. Doing the speedtest, my results will take 10 seconds to start and it'll display my normal internet speeds. Anyone know what the issue is? I've tried wiping cache so far, and factory restore too.

Problem has existed for most people since the start and the crappy Sony developers still haven't fixed it.
