Internet Problems
Hey guys, I've done everything...
I've called my internet provider, my router manufacturer... and they haven't been able to do anything to hlp me.
So the problem is:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am able to connect to the internet via Ethernet cable through my modem and am able to connect to everything in a second flat, doesn't matter, hour long youtube video, boom, gmail, boom, instagram, boom, face book, boom, planetminecraft and download a map, boom, steam game download, boom... But once I connect the ethernet to my router, and connect to the router EITHER through an ethernet extension from my router to my laptop, or through wireless... Instgram, boom, Facebook, boom, Steam game download, boom, planetminecraft download, boom...
HOWEVER, when I try to connect to Youtube, it sometimes goes to the homepage or it times out. But when I am at its homepage and click a video, it brings me there but doesn't play the video. With gmail, it just no longer connects, sometimes the browser of google doesn't even work. And some other websites won't load either...
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO, I was thinking f buying myself a new router to see if that's the problem, but I've factory reset it twice and reconfigured it, didn't change anything. Updated it to its latest firmware, didn't do anything. Its not a firewall because this is a multiplatform problem, same problems is happening with my laptop, my phone, my tablet, and a few other people's phones and laptops. I can connect to Instagram and Facebook perfectly fine, I can watch videos on FB, but I can't connect to snapchat or the app store, or google somtimes, or gmail, youtube soemtimes works and sometimes doesn't.
I made sure that my router didn't have the Moon Malware, so its not that either. I tried changing the channels of the 2.4GHz to 1, 6, and 11, but none of them worked... I power cycled my modem and my router at the same time, and at different times, but all these problems persist... this has been happening for 2 days now and I'm loosing my mind.
If anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it, reason why I'm posting this here is because this is the only website I can connect to, I can't go onto shaw forums, or other types of forums.

I'm back with the connections from the Ethernet cable via my Modem to my Laptop:
I could connect to Instagram via domain name and IP
I could connect to Youtube via domain name and IP
I could connect to steampowered.com via domain name and IP
I could connect to planetminecraft.com via domain name and IP
I could connect to googlemail.google.com via domain name and IP
I could connect to flutetunes.com via domain name and IP
I could connect to Facebook via domain name and IP
I could connect to Inkarnate.com via domain name and IP
So the problem is the router...
I could connect to Instagram via domain name and IP
I could connect to Youtube via domain name and IP
I could connect to steampowered.com via domain name and IP
I could connect to planetminecraft.com via domain name and IP
I could connect to googlemail.google.com via domain name and IP
I could connect to flutetunes.com via domain name and IP
I could connect to Facebook via domain name and IP
I could connect to Inkarnate.com via domain name and IP
So the problem is the router...

I'm back with the pings from the router connection to the laptop through direct connection via Ethernet rather than Wireless:
I could connect to Instagram via domain name and IP
I could connect to Youtube via domain name and IP
I could connect to steampowered.com via domain name and IP
I could connect to planetminecraft.com via domain name and IP
I could not connect to googlemail.google.com via domain name OR IP (request timed out)
I could not connect to flutetunes.com via domain name Or RP
I could connect to Facebook via domain name and IP
I could not connect to Inkarnate.com via domain name OR IP
More or less, the exact same thing happened
I could connect to Instagram via domain name and IP
I could connect to Youtube via domain name and IP
I could connect to steampowered.com via domain name and IP
I could connect to planetminecraft.com via domain name and IP
I could not connect to googlemail.google.com via domain name OR IP (request timed out)
I could not connect to flutetunes.com via domain name Or RP
I could connect to Facebook via domain name and IP
I could not connect to Inkarnate.com via domain name OR IP

Now, this is a multiplatform problem, so the problem here is the router or the modem's connection to the router; however, I'll get back to you with the pings when I directly connect my laptop to the router via Ethernet cable, and then do the same with the Ethernet cable from the modem to the laptop

I could connect to Facebook via domain name and IP
I could connect to steampowered.com via domain name and IP
I could connect to planetminecraft.com via domain name and IP
I could not connect to Inkarnate.com via domain name OR IP

How old is your router and what make is it? You could just need a new one, due to the age of it.
