Q: Internet homepage won't load after waking mbp
I open the lid, wait for the WiFi signal at the top right to show that it's connected, then I launch Safari, it tries to open up my homepage, which is Google, and it just hangs. I wait a for a bit then I just turn WiFi off and back on, then once WiFi has connected, I can hit the house button at the top left to pull up my homepage (Google homepage) and it comes right up. I haven't timed it, but it shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 seconds to pull up the Google homepage once the WiFi has connected.
I've had to do this with my old MBP as well, and we recently moved and have a new WiFi connection. So the same issue with two different MBPs on different WiFi networks. Also, this MBP that I'm on has had this problem since day one of getting it, and the same problem on another WiFi network as well. We switched from Charter and a Netgear wireless router, to Comcast and a Motorola/Arris wireless router.
It has to be a setting or something that I've missed twice on both macs, or a known issue with both macs - I'm hoping it's a setting and my problems are over.
Thanks to anyone who has any input on how I can fix this.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
