Do you have any 3rd party routers/switches attached to the modem? This may also cause issues as we recommend plugging directly into the modem to check for any connectivity problems.

I had the same problem and setting my dns to 8.8.8.8 worked.  I cannot use the wow companion app on my phone unless I disable my home wifi as well.
