Q: Server error on MacBook

I keep getting a server error on Safari with numerous different sites. No issues with the actual server because I checked on other devices and it works. I usually have to "Turn Wifi Off" on my computer and turn it back on for it to work again. I've been experiencing this problem since I got my MacBook. I have 5 other Apple devices and other non Apple devices and have no issues. It's just my MacBook. There was a problem with my wireless card but that has been repaired by Apple. Still experiencing issues. It's definitely not a netowrk issue because all my other devices (Apple and non Apple) don't experience this problem. It's as if my MacBook loses connection to the Internet without the "you're not connected to the Internet" message instead "server error". It has been frustrating. Any advice would be appreciated. When I sent my MacBook for repair, all programs or softwares I downloaded have been erased if that helps.

MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

    If you hold down the option key and click on your airport icon, you should see network diagonstics. You can run that to see if it shows an error. You could also open network preferences airport/advanced and delete and reinstall your network connection. Also do you use any bluetooth devises while on the internet. As sometime the blue tooth signal can interfere with the router as bluetooth runs on a 2.4Ghz band.
