SB6190 forever to load DNS or fails

Hello all, I looked through the other post and didn't see an answer to issue like mine. I switched from the SB6141 to the SB6190 and it worked great at first (the SB6141 was always great) but when I got the firmware 9.1.93N it started taking forever to load any webpage (shows Resolving Host.. at bottom right/Chrome browser) and will usually fail to a message like this This site can’t be reached www.newegg.com’s server DNS address could not be found. Search Google for newegg ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED then after another 10-20 second it may load on its own but sometimes the site needs to be reloaded several times before it loads all the objects, etc. I also use Ventrilo and when this is happening it will fail to resolve the hostname but will get to the server via the IP address right away. Tnot ahis can happen to any site I try, no matter if I have been there today or not. Also if for example on this site if I'm on a forum and go through right clicking links and opening them in new tabs they will either take forever to load or won't load at all ( problem before the firmware change or SB6141). I have multi computers and all get the same issue. I confirmed the modem as the source by going down to 1 PC then trying different new CAT 5, 6 and 7 cables. All same result. If I reboot the modem by pulling the power and waiting 30 seconds the issue will resolve but start again anywhere within 1 hour - 2 hours. I just had comcast put in a new coax outside months before with the SB6141 (it was a very old and damaged cable), the connection goes straight to my cable modem, I have no splitters, blocks, etc as I don't use cable service for anything else so it's a straight connection. I've also used a bobby pin to use the reset function on the back of the modem several times and it reloaded fine but issue comes back. I also went through and tried different browsers (Edge, Firefox) and all get same issue. Ping test also seem to be fine during the time this issue goes on. My levels on the SB6190 reflect the same I got on my SB6141. Speed test are also consistent. I thought I would post here for ideas/advice/etc before I even try Comcast as they tend to not provide the level of support I'm really after without some prodding. I've included the Status screen from the modem as well if anyone wanted to see it in case I didn't notice a problem, these were taken at an Up time of 1 d: 8 h: 39 m. Thank you.
