    Websites not opening except Google and Reddit


    I have tried resetting TCP/IP, flushing DNS entries, and all the other things that I can find online, but still sometimes all the browers on my laptop (chrome, firefox, IE) refuse to open any website except google, and reddit. The strange thing is when this happen I am also unable to login into my WIFI router. I have no firewalls installed, my HOST file is clean. I tried debugging the problem by running wireshark when the problem occurs there were some "Spurious Retransmissions".
    Commands that I have tried

    Code:
    netsh winsock reset
    netsh int ipv6 reset
    netsh int ipv4 reset
    nbtstat -R
    ipconfig /flushdns
    nbtstat -RR
    The problem occurs both over wifi and wired connection to the router, the wifi router is working fine. everyone else connected to it can surf without any issues

    just tried safemode with networking, same behavior. Is there any way to fix this without a re-installation?

    Did you install (reddit) or did it sneak in with something else?

    What Search Engine do you want to use?
