I've looked all over this forum and others and haven't found anyone with this issue. Got my Droid Eris last week and love it so far. When I use Wi-Fi it finds my router and connects with no problems. I open browser and can go to Google.com, do searches from there, etc. and everything works fine and pages load quickly as long as I stay on Google.com. But when I try any other site they either never load ("web page not available") or they take several minutes to load.

Browser works fine on all sites when on 3G. I tried Wi-Fi with 3G turned-on and turned-off, but same results. Tried clearing browser cache, deleted cookies, etc.

I'm stumped...I can't think of anything that would prevent non-Google sites from working only when I'm using Wi-Fi. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

 

Thanks for your suggestions. The problem is not the connection to my WAP; the phone shows connected, it has a valid IP address assigned, and I can easily/quickly browse Google (just no other websites). Gmail and Market work, too, but other apps/widgets like weather, stocks, POP mail, do not. So, it seems to prefer Google-based items only.

Router is set to G-mode only (not mixed). I also tried using the Dolphin browser but same results. I turned-off all encryption on my home WAP but no luck. I tried browsing by IP address instead of website name, but nothing. Interestingly, when I connect to a public wifi hotspot it works fine!

Based on all that I assume this is an issue between my phone and my wireless router. Unfortunately I have the latest router firmware and can't upgrade it. Guess I can buy another router. But it's hard to believe that a router issue would be so specific that it allows Google-based items to work but no others. If my other wireless devices have no problems would OpenDNS make a difference?

Thanks.
