Some websites won't load

[Frosty123]

Hi,

Today I have had a load of issues.

The router is showing all green lights, so seems to be now issue there.

So, work laptop, came up saying couldn't find network connection, so have had to use mobile Hotspot.

Personal laptop, it won't load BBC , X, even Sky.Com , Amazon, but loads Facebook, YouTube for example. 

So I am at a loss what the issue could be, someone at work mentioned Sky's DNS may not be working?

Hope someone can shine light on something.

Thanks, Frosty

@Frosty123  Try changing the device in question DNS to something like 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 and see if they help.

Unfortunately this hasn't helped, still saying BBC for example, site cannot be reached.

Tried wife's laptop, she clicked troubleshoot and it came up saying,

WiF doesn't have a valid IP configuration.

Problem found, we have an extender for shed outside,  which is plugged in at end of front room, with router at the other end of the room, 

Unplugged extender and we can connect to websites !
