Both of you nseries73 and dummydave
DNS is used for resolving hostnames to ip and vice versa.Maybe your ISP's dns are slow/busy.
Go to control Panel>Network Settings>Select the adapter if you use cable use ethernet or use wireless adapter.

So try this
Open its properties by right click and Select IPv4 and enter dns servers manually.
Enter
primary as 8.8.8.8
secondary 8.8.4.4

Four your information these dns servers are of google public dns
Also open cmd terminal and enter ipconfig /flushdns

restart the router and check.Post here
