Hi again IrvSp
It was during our exchange I was able to get the IPv4 DNS mapped to Google (was something like 10.0.0.1 prior). It looks now like there's no problem connecting to any of the test sites I've tried.
Where I'm located suspect bandwidth is shared amongst the local community so will repeat the bash test during business hours to stress connectivity. Fingers cross that goes well.
Appreciate you pointing in the right direction.

What DNS are you using? ISP's (default setting, get it from ISP) or something else?

Hi IrvSp - thanks for the follow-up.
IPV4 shows DNS as: 8.8.8.8 with Alternate as: 8.8.4.4
IPV6 shows "obtain DSN automatically".

IPv4 is the Google DNS's... they should work.
IPv6, you actually using it? Very very few sites really require it? Try disabling IPv6 as a test... that phone hotspot probably does do IPv6 either.

I'm having the same problem and already had IPv6 disabled. I've tried changing DNS servers and even bypassing the router for DNS. The problem persists. I don't recall having this problem when I first updated the firmware. Now it is happening all the time. Kinda smells of an active exploit.
