Why is my Internet not loading after startup?

This has gone on for too long. About 2 years actually. After startup, on both my Mac Mini and also my ASUS laptop, it takes about 5 minutes for each to connect to the Internet. I use Google Chrome to surf the web, but whenever I use Safari or Internet Explorer, they do the same thing as Chrome: they don't load my homepage (Google). The Internet loads just fine and immediately on my dad's and mom's iPads and iPhones and on me and my brother's iPhones. I have AT&T as my ISP and I have a combined DSL and router: a Westell VersaLink model 327W. How can I get the Internet to load immediately after I wake up the computers from sleep?

Have you tried wiping everything clean and re-installing? (thats drastic but it depends on how much this is annoying you)

  • YouTube not loading iphone 4? Okay here what happened… I accidentally dropped my iPhone in water (2 secs in water) it was in a case. I immediately shut the phone down, and stuck it in a bowl of rice (with the case off). After about 8 hours I recharged the phone and turned it back on. Everything is working fine, Internet, music, sound, screen… Everything EXCEPT YouTube videos just say "loading" and does nothing further. Note: this occurs in the YouTube app. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
  • Why is Netflix not loading on my iPhone? I'm trying to watch Doctor Who which is about 45 minutes per episode but when I try to watch it the video doesn't even load and I get an error message. I'm using T-mobile 3G on an iPhone 4 because our internet went down. Can I watch Netflix at all or do I just have to watch shorter videos? I'm getting around 2-3 bars right now if that makes a difference.
  • Why does my iPhone still charge for Internet even when I'm not using Internet? So, I recently got a pay monthly plan with my new iPhone 4s. When i'm out and about I'm usually updating my twitter and Facebook account. But, when I'm put my phone down, 3G still says I'm using it and charging me. So do I have to turn it off when i'm finished? Or is there a much easier way?
  • Why are YouTube videos not loading or playing on my IPhone 5? This problem has been persisting for a few days now - basically, every time I attempt to play a YouTube video, whether it is through the app or the actual URL on Safari, the screen stays black and never loads on app, and the loading wheel continually spins on the video. Is there a solution to this issue?
