Hello Blues11,
The update server included 6.6.0 yesterday, that could be the reason why you were having some issues when checking for updates. Nevertheless, I am glad it works now and thank you for confirming that everything's okay now.

Hello Blues11,
How about adding 8.8.8.8 as DNS address in the admin page's Network > Eth 0 or 1> Settings > IPv4? Then test again.

Hi JennC,
I tested that and it seems to work.
I also updated to 6.6.0 and went back to my old DNS, that worked also now.

Hello viperhansa,
Thanks for sharing what worked. Thanks to @doegox too for adding a solution.
Hopefully, these will help Blues11 too.

Yes, thanks for all the tips. I'm up and running with 6.6.0.
The strange thing is that I didn't do anything. I checked on my Network and I have always had IPv6 disabled. I had also had 8.8.8.8 set up under DNS Servers. So I'm not sure that it's anything I did.
Regardless, the system's working fine. Thank you again.
