Hey everyone! I'm facing a strange issue with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Starting this morning, some websites just won't load while I'm connected to Wi-Fi. For example, I'm having trouble accessing sites like CNBC, Apple, and Reddit (both the app and the browser), but others like ChatGPT and Google are working without a hitch. My Wi-Fi settings even say 'No Internet connection' even though the signal is strong and some pages are loading fine. Interestingly, everything works perfectly on mobile data, and it also works if I use NordVPN. My Windows PC connected to the same router has no issues at all. I've tried several troubleshooting steps: restarting my phone, forgetting the network and re-entering the password, changing the DNS settings to Cloudflare and Google, restarting the router, and even resetting my network settings. Is there anything else I should check? Is this possibly an ISP issue? By the way, I found a temporary fix in the router settings by changing the DNS back to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, but it feels like an odd solution as my PC doesn't seem affected. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Glad to hear you found a temporary fix by changing the DNS servers! It can be a bit weird with devices behaving differently. Even if your PC is running fine, the iPhone's connection might react differently due to settings or cached data. If speed is still an issue, it might be worth trying to run a speed test on the Wi-Fi again to see if anything has changed.
Hey! It sounds like you've done some thorough troubleshooting already. Since you're using a Netgear router, you might want to access its settings and check for a few things: try turning off the Traffic Meter, QoS, Access Control, and even IPv6 temporarily. After making those changes, reboot both your router and iPhone to see if that helps. Sometimes, these settings can interfere with how devices communicate on the network.
Sounds like a frustrating situation! Sometimes ISPs can act quirky, and it's not uncommon for them to impose limits or issues that only affect certain devices. If you feel comfortable, checking the router logs could provide some insight into any irregularities while your iPhone is connected.
