The gist is I get "Resolving Host" in the lower left on Chrome fairly often for 8-20 seconds on a wired laptop, phones and tablets are worse, play store or instagram will not load, some apps on my Fire TV will not consistently load, etc, etc, etc. It feels like a DNS problem, but manually assigning Google DNS or Open DNS on either the router or a specific device does not solve the problem.
CM500 modem is new, R7000 router is a year or so old and been in daily use at the old house with perfect results.
The router and it's config were solid for a year plus before I moved, it's not a wifi specific problem. I replaced the cable modem at the new house with a new one. Speedtest, though they occasionally error out, are great, the model status and log files are clean, SNR is good, dBmV are good, etc, etc.
Called Cox a couple times, they are clueless and stumped in predictable fashion.
How can there be a DNS-like error with manually specifying other DNS servers not fixing it?
What else can I check?
