Some Android device apps (BBC News BBC Sport) not loading on Sky wifi - fine on 4G/5G data
Some Android device apps (Patient Access, BBC News, BBC Sport) not loading on Sky wifi - fine on 4G/5G data and other WiFi networks.
Have recently switched from BT broadband.
Started happening 4-5 days ago.
Have already tried.......
Router reset
Disabling Sky Broadband Shield
Uninstalling/reinstalling BBC News BBC Sport) apps
Clearing each Android apps cache
Anyone else with same problem?

@PSMorgan1 If you log into your account with Sky and go to broadnd & talk tab you will find broadband shield you need to change this from the default of PG13 to 18+ or custom and apply the changes.
If you have found this solution helpful please tick this as the answer.

I am escalating your post to the Sky team who support the forum who should be in touch soon to offer you a private online chat session to get this sorted.

I'm experiencing the exact same.
I've tried resetting the router as well as activating them deactivating the shield.
Still doesn't work.
If I switch over to 4g on my phone it works perfectly. Only just started a few days ago but a total inconvenience!
