From all my research, this problem even presents itself to the chosen ones! Furthering my belief that it is a router/modem issue.
Everything I saw with - "err_connection_timed_out facebook" were solved with device fixes (hosts files, clear cache, turn off startup items, check task manager for mcafee or other running programs, flush dns, renew ip, etc) but since this seems to be occurring on 3 devices and only when connected the wireless router, I think the next thing to do is poke around the router, check for updates, make sure nothing looks out of ordinary and have the router refresh.
log in to the router 192.168.1.1
I don't feel like I'm being very helpful here. Let me take a look in the morning with fresh eyes - Sorry
Device fixes for timeout

No problem man. I appreciate your effort!!!! Wont be in till 9ish tomorrow so no rush. Going to look for some router info and see if I can find something I haven't tried. Thanks again brother:toast:
You will be happy to know that I did miss doing one of the simplest trouble shooting things of all which is hook laptop straight to modem:facepalm: In my defense it just hit me while sitting here as I have yet to read a soul suggest that in all my hours of trying to figure this out and I would think that would be an easy way to figure a lot of stuff out early on:shrug:
Definitely a router issue as everything works(sites) when hooked straight to modem. Will take a look at router tomorrow.
Good thinking - Last week we had a thunderstorm that knocked out power and sent the computer gremlins in to our online. Our wireless was still up and the network was working fine but we were without internet. When I called Time Warner they wanted to walk me through my wireless router troubleshoot and my solution was to connect directly to the modem like you did. That saved me 30-45 minutes of bullshit and they were able to remotely reset the connection to the modem.
Have you held down the reset button on the wireless router and completely wiped everything back to factory and entered the info again? If you do that and still no dice, it's new router time. I haven't price checked Wireless AC routers lately but that's the new thing to get. It has a better way of dealing with bandwidth instead of cutting directly in half. They boast better speeds but remember service providers still control max speeds.
Good luck
Yeah, have tried the factory reset. Guess I will go and get a new router tomorrow and see if it works. At this point I dont mind spending the money to not have to fool with the shit anymore. can those be had at wally world josh or does it have to be a specialty store?
Walmart will have some of the new AC wireless routers but an Office Depot, Office Max would have a better selection.
A wireless N is still fine for most homes but the AC tackles the bandwidth issues we start to run in to when we connect computers phones and televisions to the same router.

Let me know what you get, how easy it was to connect and how you like it in a month or 2 (If you see anything different)

Went with ac1600 lynksis. We don't have any need for more than this and it is plenty fast for our needs. Has a secondary network for guest and apparently is good for speed since my boys like streaming videos. Will let you know if any problems arise.
