A few weeks ago this problem did not exist.
M4 Macbook Air, Tahoe, fully updated. No VPN used. Wifi.
Firefox Developer Edition (some extensions) opens 4 tabs at start, Edge (zero extensions) opens 3.
The browsers would open and the tabs would be there without delay.
Now though, there is a several second delay.
The tabs will show the title of the site, but then the spinner appears while they connect.
Connecting subsequently to sites is also slow - by which I mean there is a delay of a few seconds and then the site loads instantly.
What I have done:
- changed the default DNS to Cloudflare
- reset the router
- ran maintenance (Onyx) and rebooted
Nothing has helped
The laptop has not really moved and the router is in the same room, line of sight.
Traceroutes: The asterisk pattern is the same for every site.

The traceroutes might be. normal for this hub - Smart Hub 6+
This is not critical at all, but given it did not happen and now does is annoying.
