Thanks. Is there a way to check on the router? I do have a ton of stuff on there, between all the phones, laptops, Sonos speakers, etc., but nothing new has been added in months. Although that wouldn't make sense at the router level, since the phone signs on to the network, just not the...

Oh - no. I never use Chrome, just Samsung's built-in browser. It's set to "Use secure DNS" and "Use your current service provider". Either way, curious why a browser setting would impact the overall connectivity! Is Android/Chrome that inbred?
