Anyone else having trouble with loading websites on Steamdeck?

[mdj1973]

I have a Netgear R6260 router and recently got a Steamdeck. I read reports on reddit of several users who are having trouble getting websites to load on the steamdeck through a browser. I am having this too. Some sites load without problem - such as Youtube - others will take very long to load if at all. What these users have in common is Netgear routers.

What modem gateway do you have the router connected to? 

Do you have IPv6 enabled?

Thanks for your response, I did not have IPv6 enabled. I enabled it on the router as "Auto detect" and enabled it on the steam deck as "Automatic". Unfortunately this did not fix the issue...

I spoke too soon, after some time it started working. Thank you for your help! I will share this as a potential solution with other users who I found with the same issue.
