Strange networking error.

Anybody any ideas what I may have done wrong here, I'm a bit puzzled.

I have Virgin media internet and it has 2 wifi channels. Channel 1 5Ghz, Channel 2 2.4Ghz. Lets call them blah1 and blah2.

I just connected a

via ethernet cable to a port on the back of the router. I loaded a windscribe VPN profile onto the mango and named it VPNblah3 to give a UK IP address.

So now the laptops in the house are not loading multiple sites on the original networks but weirdly, the phones connected to wifi fine!

I am puzzled. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

-check if its a DNS problem or not - ping 4.4.4.4 and confirm it works, then try 'nslookup www.google.com'

-check if ipv4 or ipv6 is disabled on laptops - run 'ipconfig /all' if theyre on windows.

Disable mobile data on the phone - does it still work on WiFi?

Have you connected your original network to the WAN or LAN port? Depending on what they've got running it could be a dhcp clash if you've connected the LAN port.
