Yes, the ntp time issue could impact your DNS response. The Netgear time server always seemed inconsistent in its response to my location. Sometimes it responded quickly and sometimes not.
Do a search for ntp servers. Several options will come up if you are in the US. One is pool.ntp.org. I use this one in Washington state and it works fine with OpenDNS.

Problem solved. Moved to a new house. Still have Spectrum but everything works here. Looks to me like there was a connection issue at the old house.
Note, I was moving anyway, I didn't buy a new house to fix the issue.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
