Issue with various apps on android devices
Since upgrading to the 870 mesh system various apps on my wife's android phone aren't loading. Everything is fine on iOS devices but apps such and the BBC News app are failing to load on the android phone. I really don't understand what's causing this as it seems to only affect android devices. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Just to clarify this -
- These apps all load when the phone is not connected to the 870 wifi, but all fail to load when connected?
- Are there any apps that work correctly? Email, Chrome, etc?
- Yes, all apps load fine when not connected to the Orbi wifi
- Yes, some apps seem ok and the problem with certain apps is intermittent, they will work sometimes when connected to the Orbi but will fail to load at other times.

Router is connected directly to the fibre ONT. already on cloudflare DNS. IPv6 also on them. Haven’t tried disabling IPv6 yet. Will give that a go later.
