    I had a similar problem not being able to access certain sites when I set up my Netgear router.

    Changing the MTU value sorted it out - default was 1458 and I think I changed it to 1492 which was the suggested usual value for UK ISPs in the router's help page (why that wasn't set as the default I don't know!).

    EDIT
    Just looked at the manual for your router and there doesn't appear to be a facility for setting MTU, so my suggestion won't help, sorry!
