Odd WiFi effect
I have a bizarre problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 phone.
It connects to the Internet via my Netgear DGN1000 router but is a very selective service. For example some apps connect without problem, some (for example Play Store) will normally not connect.
The Google web app is very very slow, most web pages won’t load, and some are very slow.
When I am out and about the phone works very well on public and family wifi setups.
It seems odd to use wifi when I am away from home and use mobile data when I am home.
It seems to me to be clear that the problem is with the router set up, though the router works great with everything else in the house (Windows laptop, HTC phone, iPad).
Any ideas please?

Post root of above and no other sub categories - Sorry about that, I think I have posted in the Forum route. The Forum is a bit like the Netgear router, about as user friendly as a Rattle Sanke. John
