I have the latest firmware on my asus router with all udates and fixes.I use the router plain and simple with no features like icloud or other things. I am alone so it is just I that use wifi on my mobile. Often when i use fakebook or browser it will not load and is just spinning...and wifi is connected(i also check this when it is happening). So to solve it i have to turn off wifi and turn on 4g.and use that a few seconds and then back to wifi..then it is ok until next time it happen. And it happen more often on browser than fakebook. I also tried to check out other browsers but same result. Tried to search internett and xda but no sucsess....Does anybody know anything about this problem?
And maybe it is just the way things are. I also quite often have to restart my computer when youtube videos(often) or Netflix(only sometimes) wont play..just black screen in youtube websitescreen.
I have had this problem for a while now but nobody answer mer or acknologedge this problem. I have posted this in general in Note 3 thread and in a Merl router forum.

The application Facebook was ever too slow and I do not using it. I was login from browsers and everything was okay. Few days ago in all browsers I have, was impossible to see any image content on site of Facebook. So I download thems application but there was same problem. It loading pretty fast but it skip to load the photos. Even after selecting a thumbnail and open the photo I get only the black background of the image viewer of Facebook. But today I discover a very strange case. This problem with Facebook images is existing only on wifi networks. All other sites loading images without any bugs. When I am connected with my mobile data Facebook works perfect. I tryed too many times with switching to wifi and mobile data this morning. It load the photos only over mobile data. The net on my home router is much faster for sure but Facebook works better on the slower mobile data. 90 % of my surfing is browsing photos with huge resolution in hundred sites. The problem is only on Facebook site. At least is working over the mobile data and I can still use it. On my laptop everything is okay all the story of the post is about my android phone. Any ideas what stoppes Facebook working normal over wifi?

Well ayydin, your not alone. This is a huge problem for them at the moment and there is seemingly little known as to what is suddenly causing this, and when a fix might appear. Just be reassured that there are a million + other prople out there with the same problems. FYI, I tried many fixes, nothing solved the problem in the long run.
Whenever I launch Facebook while on Wifi, it tries to go to the mobile connection. But since Mobile Data is off, it doesn't work.
I go into LogCat and see something about "ipv6dns current tech is 14" message.
I've tried using SetDNS to bind IPv6 to IPv4, but no go... Facebook is the primary problem, but it seems like other apps (browser, twitter) tries the mobile network first instead of the Wifi... and every time it's due to IPv6 in Logcat... Still don't have an answer though.
I sometimes experience the same problem. It's so irritating that I practically stopped using FB on my phone...
Anyone having this issue. Not exactly sure what changed in my wifi setup but in the facebook and instagram apps photos in my feed wont load. When i switch over to mobile data or use the web page in the browser over wifi they load fine. For some reason my wifi does not play nice with instagram and facebook apps. This is on my galaxy s4 but have tried several different devices and they all have the same issue.
Has anyone run into this problem? Tried searched and found some people who had the opposite issue with it not loading over mobile data but havent found a thread on this. Thanks for any tips.
I am having the exact same issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a facebook beta tester, Facebook fixed the issue in the latest version. That means you guys will have it between now and next week.

I am having the exact same issue, its seem to be a router problem, my newsfeed load fine one 4g and other wifi (i have a galaxy s2), but on my home wifi the newsfeed for facebook or instagram won't load, my sister is also experiencing the same problem with here galaxy S......any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
FYI: i've tried restarting the router, upgrading the firmware which didn't work. also before i realized it was just the router i've tried force closing, clearing the cache and restarting the phone, i've also uninstall and reinstall the app several times.
I had a similar problem but I sorted it out today on my Nexus 4. My problem was, the default gateway on my phone was different from what it has to be for that specific wifi network.
In windows one can check the default gateway by running command prompt (cmd) and typing ipconfig.
On your phone you also have to check the advanced settings for that wifi network that you have problems with.
I set the Ip settings to static from DHCP and entered the default gateway values from my pc to my phone. You can also get another ip for your phone in that advanced settings tab if you think there may be an ip conflict but as I told, my problem was the differing default gateway values. I haven't changed the DNS which was google dns by default.
Key thing was the default gateway values for me and I'm hoping this will help many of you.
Problem Fix
if ur Instagram installed on ur sdCard then just move it to ur mobile memory it's 101% working
Hi,
Wondering if anyone has run into the following issue with their Pixel. My phone is an international model (G-2PW4200) and I bought it exactly a month ago.
The issue is this: I seem to never be able to download any decent size file (e.g. a video on social media sites or apps like Facebook, YouTube, Whatsapp, etc., or to download any app on the Google Play store) via WiFi without the download getting "stuck" half way, sometimes not even at 10%. The download would get stuck indefinitely, and only resume once I disable WiFi and start downloading via LTE. Sometimes it also comes back if I just disable WiFi and enable it again. Another problem I have is that my phone seems to go offline when it's not being used for extended periods of time (that being in the 5-10 minute range given I look at it almost every 10 minutes) despite having WiFi during sleep set to be always on. I can tell this because when I try to log in to something like Whatsapp Web it complains that my phone is offline, and this is a problem that never happened with me with my previous phone in the same setting.
A few points to keep in mind:
1- I have "Keep WiFi on during Sleep" set to "Always"
2- This happens everywhere (at home, work, friends', public WiFi, etc.) so it's not related to just my router's setup, and it happens every single day and almost every single time.
4- System is "up to date" and I have the latest update installed (Android 7.1.1, build NOF26V)
3- I'm still able to browse web pages (via Chrome), and browse apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, etc. without getting interruptions or showing any signs of disconnect. It's only the above two issues that I see when downloading big chunks of data, and for some reason my phone appearing to be offline during sleep when it shouldn't be.
Any idea what may be wrong here and how I can fix this? I really would like to keep this phone, but this is really becoming frustrating.
Thanks.
Have you factory reset?

Yes. And ironically enough I ran into the same problem immediately while restoring my backup as the phone was trying to redownload the previously installed apps. It would get stuck not downloading anything but not complain about a lost connection until I disable WiFi and switch to cellular data.
This reminded me that the first time I ran into the problem was also the very first time I used the phone when also downloading my apps.

can you test your wifi performance with another device?
and also try some download manager like ADM and check download with it.

Given that this happens everywhere, not just with my home WiFi, I know the issue is specific to my Pixel. Unfortunately no one at work has a Pixel to try it, but all other devices connected to the same WiFi spots are fine.
I was told by someone that disabling LTE and sticking to 3G cellular data will fix my WiFi issues. Will be trying that at work today.
Anyone interested in a challenge?
This is more of a question to those people who have knowledge on Wi-Fi router configurations, but I am really hoping maybe somebody has experienced this and found a solution.
Probably the reason why I haven't found a "solution" (in quotes since my Wi-Fi is not really broken) is because I don't know how to word this correctly so that a Google search can be successful so I'll try to explain myself as best as I can.
Here is my problem:
My home's Wi-Fi seems to be having this issue where it takes a while to connect to servers (or at least, that's what I think is going on)
Once it establishes a connection to a server, it seems to run fine there on out.
For example:
Please check this video out: Video
This is a game called "Shadowgun Deadzone", a multi-player game. When I'm on Wi-Fi, notice how it gets stuck on "Authentication in progress" for more than a minute?
Later on in the video, I close it, turn off my Wi-Fi and re-open the game and it only takes SECONDS to get to the same screen with my carrier's network.
No, my internet is not slow. Web-page browsing and watching videos is as expected from a 10 mbps internet speed and also playing the game mentioned runs excellent once I get it to connect, only on things like this game is where it takes a while to establish an "initial" connection to the servers
What do I mean with "things like this"? Well, WhatsApp is something that to my knowledge also connects to a server to send images and media, right?
Check this second video out: Second Video
This example is a little bit less clear, but it also seems that connecting to the "server" takes twice as long than if I do it with my carrier's network.
So here's what I know:
1. It's not device specific. This happens with any cellphone using things like what I mentioned above.
2. Not the device's fault either since I play this exact game on my aunt's house and it connects fast as expected
3. Router firewall is deactivated.
4. I've also got a Nintendo 3DS, doesn't take as long to connect to Nintendo Network and play online
5. I've tried labeling my cellphone as "game console" (same as my 3DS) on the router settings, but it doesn't help, it changes nothing
6. This "problem" doesn't exist on web browsing, downloading stuff, Youtube, and a few minor things
I know the fastest solution probably is to get a new router, which I will do in due time, but I'm really hoping to skip that step if I can. This is really bugging me and rather than avoiding this by buying a new router I want to learn what is a possible cause and fix it. I'm pretty sure learning how to deal with this could be helpful in the future.
Is it specific to WiFi?
This feels like a DNS issue. Some devices initial connection working fine and others not could be a DNS caching issue.
Clear the cache of all devices then try to connect to a site one at a time and time them. If they are all around the same speed after clearing the cache then it's probably a DNS thing.
I wonder if a cell phone gets a domain resolved on mobile, caches it, then use the cache when on wifi instead of making a new query. Just a shot in the dark

I will certainly give this a try.
Yes, it's Wi-Fi exclusive. Only at my home's Wi-Fi, because I've played this game at other places via Wi-Fi and I don't have this problem so what you suggest might not work. I'm almost certain there must be something wrong with this Wi-Fi router, some configuration getting in the way.
Download something like FCC Speed Test that shows more than up and down, specifically things like dropped packets. Run it three times on the same device at both locations and compare. Have you checked the routers logs for anything out of the ordinary?

For some reason this app "FCC Speed Test" is showing as incompatible with all my devices, I really hope it doesn't need some kind of special Wi-Fi chip that makes this app work. The "newest" device I have is a Note 3. Went ahead and downloaded the apk file.
I'll get that done today and post the results to see if you can see the problem more clearly.
I am really not a person that knows much about networking and technical details. I just know the VERY basic things.
Things like how to change my router password, view who is using my Wi-Fi signal and block them via a Mac address. The VERY basic stuff. So I wouldn't be able to detect anything unusual in the router logs
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate you taking your time to respond to this. I will probably have these results in a few hours since I'm at work (I will also test this at my work's Wi-Fi as I also don't have a problem here. Not that I play this game at work but I've given it a test and it doesn't have the same problem as my home's Wi-Fi)
Thanks again

Unfortunately both places (my house and my aunt's house) stats look exactly the same. Both places dropped packets once. I ran it once at my work place and is the lowest you'll see in the attached screenshots.
I can't find a solution. I am close to giving up
Thanks for your help and your time

While my phone connects and shows an excellent connection it does not get internet. This is a new phone so have not tested it in very many places but at our condo clubhouse which my previous phone and a friends works fine I get a good connection but no internet. Today in Walmart I had a similar problem connection shows strong but when I try to get internet I get a box saying something like this may not be a secure connection or some similar warning (can't remember exact words)
I have looked all through settings and cannot find anything that I need to change.
Anyone know what could be the problem?
It looks like it's looking for the pop-up allowing you to connect and you're not seeing that pop-up. What browser are you using? If it's Chrome then download Opera or any other browser and see if it shows you the pop-up. Once you get in with another browser then any should work after that.

No popups on my clubhouse wifi needed. Tried it again this afternoon and this time I got a connection. I read in another forum that this can occur from time to time but no reason given.
I just hope it is not a frequent occurance.
