Well, insofar as it appears that:
1. You're using Primary connection status,
2. You currently do not have the problem when NOT using the router,
3. You previously used the router with NO problem,
4. You haven't knowingly changed any settings in your router,
I'd say it's possible that:
1. Your router is mal-functioning and you may need to get a new one,
-or-
2. Somehow a setting DID get changed.
I know nothing at all about routers, but I might suggest carefully noting
what your settings are right now, then (if you have the option), return all
settings to "default" and see if that works . . . .
