It's good to hear that at least some others have not had any issues :) It is certainly possible that the ISP modem may have been doing something special, but I've now been through at least 4 different routers of various grades over the years and sadly Omnia was the only one to ever exhibit that issue here. Or it may have had something to do with IPv6 or PPPoE. Hardwiring DNS to 8.8.8.8 did not help either. In the end I deemed it not worth it to waste any more time attempting to fix it.
