Hello, I’m having the exact same problem on my mobile devices as this post that got zero comments https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Problems-with-Facebook-and-Instagram/td-p/4971...
I was having these same issues. However, disabling IPv6 wasn't an option as I needed that turned on for my Nest Protect and other smart home devices to be able to connect. I had custom DNS' configured for both IPv4, and setting it up for IPv6 seemed to resolve it - now everything is loading quite fast.
I use Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS service. Whatever DNS service you're using, make sure you're also using their IPv6 addresses, like below.
The addresses of 1.1.1.1 are:
- 1.1.1.1
- 1.0.0.1
- 2606:4700:4700::1111
- 2606:4700:4700::1001
Note that in setting up the IPv6 DNS, in the fields provided in the admin interface for the router - it must be filled out like this:
field 1: 2606 field 2: 4700 field 3: 4700 field 4: 0 field 5: 1 field 6: 1 field 7: 1 field 8: 1
Router Firmware Version V2.3.1.60
Is your ISP servicing IPv6 natively to your system?
