Computer is going slow on WiFi but mobile and sky glass are fine

Ds93 — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 14:39:00 GMT

Recently moved house, and my computer is taking an extremely long time to load and search on the internet via sky broadband, however my 2 mobile devices and sky glass works perfectly. Is my new home the issue? Or can something be done to increase this connectivity. It worked absolutely fine before the move with the same amount of devices connected. Thanks

That sounds like a browser cache/DNS Lookup issue

you can try flush the DNS on your PC with 'ipconfig/flushdns' on windows

How would you do this on a MAC?

Sorry for the delayed reply

Flush DNS Cache on macOS

Flushing the DNS cache on macOS is a straightforward process that helps resolve connectivity issues and prevent security threats.

Example for macOS 12 (Monterey)

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
