Mail works Safari doesnt on wifi

Question

I had to disable security on my home network to use wifi. I can get my comcast mail to work. I even set up my yahoo account, And that works. Safari wont work. Can connect to server error. It works on edge but not on wifi. I have been on hold since 9:00 EST they have given me a case # now I need 2nd level support..lol
Anyone else figure this out?

Answer 1

I get the same thing. I have my Comcast Internet shared out through Internet Sharing on my MacBook Pro with WEP enabled (although the same happened when leaving it open). My mail works just fine sending and receiving. Safari will open the first page or two, then takes forever to load. If I tap a link several times in a row, sometimes that 'forces' it to actually load, whereas before it will sit like it's trying to load but won't.
Maps, YouTube, and Weather all will work within the first 45 seconds or so after connecting to Wi-Fi, but then will not work. Meanwhile, Mail still works. When I turn off the Wi-Fi and use Edge, everything works just fine.
Maybe it's something with the ports? I don't know what it is with the Wi-Fi, but I'd really like to know what it is. For that first few seconds of Wi-Fi, it's blazing fast. I'll be watching this thread to see what comes of it.
