    Hi Memano,
    You must 're-boot' your highspeed modem, maybe once/month.
    Unplug it or cycle its power switch, and leave overnight.
    If in haste, leave ~5 minutes or so...
    Other than that, your router is pretty neutral and will not disqualify any sites (and you control its settings).
    I would suspect the individual PCs - usually Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL and miscellaneous malware are constantly battling over your PC.
    They all desire to claim your precious searches...
    Run HijackThis! for yourself, and see.
    Regards
