    I am connected to Eir Fibre Wifi but I have problems opening Irish websites on the phone while connected to wifi.Some of the sites are Rte, Irish Independent and Lottery.I can open Irish Times etc no problem.If I disconnect the Wifi theres no problem.There are two phones in House both Samsung and on Vodafone network,,.I rang both Eir and Vodafone but no joy,.Would anyone have any ideas of what the problem might be.

    Does the other phone have the same issue while connected to the wifi?

    Do you have other devices that you can check if they have issues too?

    It sounds like a DNS issue with eir but I could be wrong

    Both phones have same issues.Irish sites only.I have a laptop but there are no problems with that.I rang both Eir and Vodafone.Eir done usual tests and reset modem but no good.Vodafone are to check it out further and have promised to come back to me.

    At a quick guess, you're resolving the v6 address but unable to access their v6 IP. Disable IPV6 as a test.

    I rang eir and they sorted it by doing something with IPV6.Thanks for your advice.
