Hi
Keep having problems accessing sites from google eg Boots or McDonalds etc etc. After 30 seconds I get an error msg saying ERR TIMED OUT.

This is on my Samsung Galaxy s8 both on my home wifi and out and about. My laptop works fine at home (dont take it out with me)  so I don't think it's a problem with my router, more likely my phone.

Restarting phone  didn't make problem go away nor did restarting router.

Any advice? Thanks

Use a different browser, seen a few comments recently with known issues with Samsungs built in browser.

Hi, tried putting Firefox onto my phone but the same thing happens - "The connection has timed out."
