Factory reset N300 WIFI Cable Modem Router and now cannot access internet via browser

I reset my modem/router to factory reset through my laptop to try to fix an issue. Now it will not allow Internet access via browsers at all, but I can still ping out via CMD prompt

    ...after a couple of hours trying to resolve this, I fixed the issue by logging into the router... basically tabbing the DNS/IP settings from auto to fixed and back to auto again... it was glitches somehow.
