The bridgebum.com and larryco.com websites fail for me intermittently. Seems to be a problem with my router. Do these websites "fail" for anyone else?


Using Archer AX1500 router 5 GHz wifi and fibre internet
I have a problem with these 3 web-sites
bridgebum
larryco
mycareshop
(last one is co nz)
they intermittently fail (timeout) on my windows 11 pc - ping and tracert also fail. tracert fails at the last hop
They either all succeed or all fail. larryco doesn't support ping


Turning wifi off and on at my PC makes it work for a while, occasionally it recovers by itself.

It never fails with a VPN running - stop the vpn and it fails

It fails on two different windows 11 PCs with different wifi hardware - but sometimes one works when the other is failing

It fails on my current machine with a tp-link USB wifi adapter instead of the in-built wifi (mediatek mt7902)
I've never seen it fail on my android samsung phone

It fails for both wifi 5 (ac) and wifi 6 (ax)
Changing a setting such as WOWLAN on the mediatek MT7902 makes it start working - i think due to the wifi card resetting itself.

I upgraded the router firmware and it still fails. I've tried a lot of suggestions from chatgpt but the failure continues. According to chatgpt, it's a state desynchronisation problem.

Any ideas for how to stop it failing or how to find out why it fails?
