I just moved to a new apartment where I got a fresh WiFi setup today. Everything is working fine except my PS5, which refuses to connect. Additionally, I'm unable to access specific websites like Reddit and Discord while I can browse others like YouTube without any problems. I've noticed my router has a red globe icon, and I suspect that might be linked to the issues I'm experiencing. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Sounds like the red globe on your router means it's not getting a proper internet connection. If you have a new WiFi service, did the installation include a new modem or just a router? Try rebooting your setup—turn off both your modem and router, then switch on the modem first, wait for all the lights to go green, and lastly turn on your router. This sometimes helps in resolving connection issues. Also, check if your landlord has any restrictions in place for certain websites—you never know!
I got my WiFi from Ahamo, and a technician set everything up today. It's odd since almost every other device connects fine, just the PS5 and a few websites are acting up. I doubt it's any blocking, instead, it seems more like an internet hiccup since it just hangs on loading.
