Internet connection "limied", no access to some sites,apps

Hy there


I have some ploblem wih my internet connection.

So:


When I use ethernet cable to connect to the internet it works properly, no problem, very quick and fast.

BUT when I use wi-fi, and try to get online, there comes the problem. Some sites work, and load while others don't. For example I can google anything, use wikipedia, etc, but can not connect to youtube, facebook, and more bigger sites. My applications using internet connection do not work as well. For example Mails,Appstore, Facetime, iMessage do not work while on wifi, but no problem with ethernet cable.


I checked the troubleshoot options, reseted andreconfigured wifi, and installed another wifi router as well, no changes.


Any ideas?

thank you!

Back up all data.


From the menu bar, select

System Preferences Network

If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then remove them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.

Boot into Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.


Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results.
