What HW version is your router?
What FW version is currently loaded?

What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?

Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual?
Turn off QoS options.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.

Changed to a static IP and seems to be fixed.  Maybe mutliple devices were fighting for Ip ...... QQ and TY

Glad you found the fix. I recommend setting up reserved IPs on the router for ALL devices. Helps maintain there  own addresses and helps in trouble shooting too. Enjoy.
