Fios problem? 99% of webpages won't load and I get "cannot find server" message.

I need to know if this sounds like a problem with my Fios, lately (depends on the day) webpages won't load and I get a "cannot find server" message. This seems to be happening more frequently. It seems that 99% of webpages I try to pull up won't load or do so intermittenly. Like I'm able to be on this webpage, but I can't get google to come up...what gives? I have not made any changes to my computer and I am on a desktop. I have a Verizon Actiontec router.

Advice?

Unplug the router for a minute and plug it back up. Works for me when I'm at home.

Such a simple solution! Thanks!!! Now I can save myself some aggrevation sitting at the computer WAITING for a page to decide to load. Why does this happen?

Router will lock up sometimes after a long period of use. I believe its because it runs out of memory or something...but I'm sure someone else will chime in with a more correct answer...glad that fixed it!

Perhaps it is because the router has a small routing table?
