NightHawk Browser Delay

Have a Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Wifi Router.   My main pc is hardwired into it.  Nearly every webpage I visit the first time in the session has a 3 to 5 second screen delay displaying the "Hmm can't reach this page" screen, then proceeds on.  Often, it only partially loads the webpage and I have to hit refresh to load it properly.

 

It does not occur on my wifi connected laptop.  It does not occur if I unplug from the NightHark and plug my pc into the ATT Cable Modem that the NightHawk is plugged into.  (Yes, I could just plug it there...but it's a different network) Which to me shows its a NightHawk setting, not a PC setting.

 

I have read multiple community posts, other sites....seems many have a similar, if not the same issue...but no solutions that work for me.   I've uploaded the latest firmware, rebooted everything, turned of QoS.  Frustrated over this thing...any meaningful help would be greatly appreciated...GB

  • some were fixed with simply enabling IPv6. 

    Others actually needed to downgrade the firmware a version or 2. 

    I'd try the enabling ipv6 first.
