Google Nest Wifi Router breaking apple.com/store?

It sounds like the problem is with the Nest router. There have been other reports of the Nest router dropping connections. Maybe it's time to replace the Nest device.

I've had my network set for a year with no changes and no problems: ATT Fiber with wifi bands off, going to Google Nest Router. That's it.

In mid December 2022 I was shopping at Apple.com and all was fine. Then one day I start getting an Apple page "The page you're looking for can't be found." This happened trying to get to the store from any link: store in the global nav or clicking any BUY button, for all Macs and iPhones, old and new, and all browsers. I found when using cellular, the pages loaded fine. Then I turned on wifi for the ATT gateway and connected to that, and all worked.

Google nest support is not clear what's happening. They suggested to change DNS in the Google Home App from Automatic to Custom: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. This didn't help. I've restarted the network, reset the Nest Wifi to factory settings and created a new network name, nothing works.

I know in the past people were having issues with Nest Wifi blocking OS updates, but nothing close to this.

Oh, the App Store App on Nest wifi works, so just the website is broken.

Any ideas?

did you try a different browser and compare your results... ?
