HTTP connection issues
Hello. I am having an issue with the initial HTTP handshake when trying to load any websites, or download files. It will either take 20-30 seconds, or I will get a "failed to connect to server" page. Once/If the connection is made, the speed is as fast as I would expect over WiFi.
OS: Win10 v16299 64bit
Internet: Cox broadband 100Gb
WiFi connection is at ~90-95%
What I have tried: Installed latest firmware, power cycled router/modem, Connected A6100 to various USB 2.0/3.0 ports, Disabled Windows firewall, set router firewall to low protection, Connected to Google DNS server, cleared all software caches, and assured 802.11 mode is set to auto (And I don't believe anything on my network is below N).
I've also tried various net speed tests and it's the same thing; 20-30 seconds to connect, then decent down/up speeds.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: HTTP connection issues
No worries, NetGear. You can also continue to disregard the email I sent you a week ago. I solved the problem by taking your **bleep**ty hardware back to the store after I realized I would get nowhere with your **bleep**ty customer service. Went with another brand that worked out of the box. Thanks for the help!
