It's a somewhat strange issue that occurs on all of my Apple devices (which is why I chose to post here). I'll be using the internet on my MacBook, iPad, or iPhone and out of nowhere pages will stop loading. The devices all report a good connection to my network and Internet, but Internet content will not load until I turn my WiFi off and back on on any affected device. This does not appear to happen on non-Apple devices on my network which I found rather strange, though my main PC (which runs Linux) is connected through Ethernet and is unlikely to be affected by a similar issue.

I haven't done much in the way of troubleshooting and at the time of writing out this post, I don't have the time to do so now, but I'd like some suggestions, because I have no idea why this problem would affect only my Apple devices and not other devices connected to my WiFi network.

The devices in question are a base model M1 MacBook Air, iPhone 12, and a 3rd generation iPad Air.

I have the same problem, except that I don't need to reset wifi to make them work. I just wait a few moments & then it starts to work again, but only if I close all the windows that wouldn't open. I have to re-open them & re-type in the web address & then it will usually work. sometimes I have to try it a second time.

And like you, it's only on my Apple products (MacBook, iPad & iPhone) but not all at the same time, but never on my work computer or any other device.

Do you happen to have a Mesh network?

iMac seems to do what you are saying.
Status messages in Firefox often show waiting on Google handshakes or something like that.... ad tracking?

I used to have a similar issue when I used the Netgear Orbi AC3000 mesh router. I upgraded my FIOS router to the latest, G3100, got rid of the Orbi and haven’t had a problem since. for some reason the Orbi and the Apple devices didn’t play nice.

My wife has been complaining the past weeks.

We have 2 wireless routers: Arris (5Ghz radio only) from our ISP as well as an Apple Airport TC router located on the other end of the house (wired AP).

Either router she chooses, it stops midway on her: 16" MBP, 12" rMB, iPad Pro and iPhone Xr.

I have not noticed, as I use wired devices only....

Wonder if this is common with Apple ????
