Windows Loads Pages, OSX Doesn't

New router: WZR-HP-G300NH

On Windows OS: download speeds are great, wired speeds are great, wireless speeds are great, pages load instantaneously.

On MacOS: download speeds are great once it connects, wireless speeds are great once it connects, webpages take 5-10 seconds to load every time.

What gives? MacBook 13' C2D 2.4ghz, 2GB Broadcom BCM43xx Airport Extreme. My m11x shares the same wireless card...

Edit: DD-WRT on the Router, more info can be provided as far as settings are concerned, I'm just not sure what would be pertinent at this point.

    check the MTU setting on the router and set it to 1492 if you are using DLS. Make sure you are serving out enough DHCP addresses in the scope.

    Also have you manually setup DNS entries on the computers or are they getting that information from the router.

    Does it make a difference to the mac if the windows machine isn't connected at the time?

    Hey kryyst, was hoping you'd see this thread.
    • I've adjusted the MTU to 1492, it was 1500 previously (at least I think it was, set to auto with the box greyed out at 1500)
    • Yes, manually set up DNS entries, same result as allowing the router to assign.
    • No, the mac loads incredibly slow even with all Windows machines off.

    The most confusing thing is that download speeds on the mac (tested with security update last night) were fine. This is limited only to the loading and displaying of web pages - it's almost unusably slow.

    Have you tried multiple browsers?

    Yes, same result, unfortunately.
