Hey Everyone,
First post, Tech savviness somewhere around "competent enough to get into trouble but recognize it and stop."
I'm having an issue that I believe is being caused by my router/modem combo. TWC just sent us an "upgrade" and now on my macbook air the WiFi does not connect to random websites. So far apple.com, google.com, yahoo.com, bing.com are consistently not connecting but duckduckgo.com works fine, espn.com works fine, homedepot.com works... etc. I can't see a pattern.
Things that maybe relevant.
1. This only occurs on my macbook. My windows 8 desktop (physically connected), my wife's Dell Windows 7 laptop (wifi), Her iphone, my droid All work fine.
2. This only happens on my wifi network. At school or any other wifi
3. I'm in law school and there is a piece of software called Exam4 that we have to use for final exams. It completely restricts computer/internet access while its running. My computer crashed while running the newest version of the software just about the same time this started.
4. Router is made by Arris, model DG1670, 2.4/5 GHz, I can provide any other info you need for it.
5. Running Yosemite 10.10.3.
6. It makes no difference which browser is used, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari all have the same problem (i've attached 2 screen grabs).
7. It doesn't seem to be limited to google.com but anything in the domain. i.e. imap.google.com out as well.
Help please.
