Connected over AP, website load slow (or don't load at all)

I've just installed a TP Link TL-WA901N Access Point to resolve the WiFi coverage problems in my house.

 

Speed is great, SpeedTest shows low ping and improved speed. However, opening websites has since been less responsive. They load for about 10 seconds (or don't load at all, "Couldn't be reached" or "Refused to connect" errors in Chrome),

Sometimes it first pops out an error message after loading for a few seconds and then it would instantly open the website a second after.

 

Once a website opens, clicking on anything else on the website is super fast and responsive, just the first connection is slow. What could that be?

 

I obviously tried different websites that I know have very good hosting, such as Amazon, Youtube (first loading is low, afterwards it's fine), or Facebook (which did not open at all, "www.facebook.com refused to connect.").

Ignoring facebook part, what did you set it up as? Wireless repeater? Ran a wire to the router and configured it as a AP?

That explains it 😄

 

Would explain how the mobile app has been slow today as well (thought it was due to my work wifi that might be slow).

 

 

It is still strange that something is causing a delay/causes website to load longer. I am just testing games right now. Logging into a game takes longer, but once you're connected it's faster than before.

Sorry, should have explained what I did.

 

I ran a Cat5e UTP Cable from the Router to the Access Point, and operation mode is set as Access Point.


Wireless Repeater Mode didn't work any better.

 

Channel is set to 6, everything else is returned back to Stock/Auto because nothing I tried improved my situation.

The issue seems have to resolved itself.

 

The new hardware probably just needed some "warming up" I guess. Websites load fast as they should now.
