Problem with online access - unable to reach websites
You're experiencing connectivity issues despite strong Wi-Fi signals. Some sites load quickly while others, like Costco.ca or Gamesworkshops, are slow or unresponsive. Speed tests show inconsistent results, and pinging 8.8.8.8 reveals packet loss. Your router was reset and your ISP mentioned troubleshooting steps, but the problem persists across devices. It might be related to network congestion, ISP issues, or device-specific settings.
It seems your connection is dropping unexpectedly. Try sending a ping to 8.8.8.8 -t. This should keep it running continuously; you should receive replies, but if some get through while others time out, the problem lies elsewhere. If possible, connect your device directly to the router and see if the issue persists. That would point to a wireless or network issue on your end. Based on what you're experiencing across multiple devices, it looks like the router or your ISP might be causing the trouble.
Occasionally it launches, usually it stays closed. During the speed check, it claims to be okay even when it isn't.
