[QUOTE="chscag, post: 738332, member: 46727"] Sounds like something I may experiment with. Verizon FIOS is a horse of a different color when it comes to DNS. Most, if not all ISPs assign a set of DNS addresses for their various servers. Verizon FIOS, however, instead relies on a series of servers which are assigned by locale. That's why they specify 0,0,0,0. for a primary and secondary DNS address. Previous to June - July of this year, it worked well in my area. No issues. But then Verizon expanded their coverage to other areas in and around North Texas. And that's when the trouble began. Using Open DNS resolved the problem for me on both Airport and Ethernet. The strange thing about all of this is that it (Verizon DNS) at no time had any impact at all on my two PCs. They continued to work fine at FIOS speeds. I'm going to reset my DNS addresses to the static ones and see what happens. I'm assuming that will likewise have to be done in the router setup. Thanks for the info. Regards. [/QUOTE]
