Hi chaps,

But of a head scratcher here...

Recently ditched my BTHub5 (I'm on Infinity 2) in favour of an Openreach modem and a decent router - after initially getting a Netgear N600 and finding it was rubbish, I picked up a TP-Link Archer C7 (AC1750).

Got it all hooked up last night, but have noticed a few oddities, and I'm looking for ideas on them:

PS4 - will pass all network tests fine, but when I try to open the Store, or expand downwards on a game - nothing loads, just get the spinning busy thing.

Google Store - I can open and browse, but as soon as I hit the download option, it just sits there with a progress bar.

OcUK forum - won't open at all! The browser shows 'err::NAME_NOT_RESOLVED'

I thought I cracked it last night by disabling the routers firewalls, and everything worked perfectly, but this morning it was all back to normal :(

Can anyone offer any insight?

Many thanks.
 
Update:

Changed DNS settings to use the Google DNS addresses of 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 - hopefully this will help...
