Home Networking / Router / & WiFi Gateway Help

Is anyone else experiencing slow response times for Google and other sites the past day or so? I've checked http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/google.com for instance and they seem to indicate that it isn't just me, but haven't seen anything on the internet about it, so trying to get some validation if it is just me/my area vs. a known problem. It seems like even sites that call upon Google ads are slow/can't connect.

Have tested this on multiple browser on multiple OS.

I know this will sound like a loser user solution, but did the basics and that did the trick so far. Specifically, reset both the router and the EMTA itself (paper clip, not by pulling the battery) and made sure the router was off first, then reset EMTA, waited for that to be up fully, turned router back on and things look great.

Before I did it, also found there were a couple other sites besides Google giving me grief. Not sure why both router and EMTA had to be reset, but at least all is well, hopefully someone else can benefit from this....

Curiously, http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/google.com was reporting Google down yesterday and is still reporting it down today, yet I've had no trouble reaching it. Never saw that before.
