When searching in a browser, it is common for the internet to suddenly freeze or experience delays. Usually, these occurrences are temporary, but they can also be caused by configuration issues. In such cases, performing a network reset can help resolve the problem.
Therefore, if your internet connection is unstable, it is advisable to first attempt a network reset. If the issue persists, contacting customer service to check if there is a problem with the line is a good approach.
If the problem occurs only on specific sites, you can open the browser’s developer mode (F12) and check for errors in the Console section, then search for those errors to identify the issue.
However, since there are no websites without any errors in developer mode, it can be challenging to find the errors that cause network problems. Therefore, performing a reset in the Windows settings and then contacting customer service is the simplest solution.
