Unable to connect to certain sites

I've noticed that I am unable to connect to Yahoo recently, and Wikipedia loads veeeerrrrrryyyyy slllllooooooowwwww if at all.

 

Since these sites don't seem to be having problems themselves, I was wondering if there is problem on this end?

    Hmmm. Will it work if you reboot everything? And by everything, I mean: Modem, router (if a separate one is used) and the device(s) you're using to go to these sites. It almost sounds like whatever DNS you're pointing to has a corrupt lookup entry (or entries). It's either that or you're somehow triggering a firewall somewhere, and that's not a usual occurrence.

    Have you tried disabling WAS to see if that helps any?

    Please follow the directions below to disable Web-Acceleration.

    1: Visit http://192.168.0.1 in your web-browser.
    2: Click the "i" icon at the top of the HT1100/2000w System Control Center (also known as the SCC).  It is highlighted in red in the image below.
