Try changing your net settings to this, test purposes

Router:
Network Settings: 192.168.3.1, DHCP Server off
In Internet settings: DNS:208.67.222.222, or 4.2.2.2

Computer: Local Area Properties, Use this local address
192.168.3.100, subnet 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.3.1, Dns 192.168.3.1

I think overall it's just a DNS problem with your provider.
