Presumably you also can't ping the router or communicate with any other
device on the network whilst browsing is down?
This might be PSU related or other initialising fault.
rather than repeated resets try:
Power on:
wait 10 minuets
Reset
test networking *ping <router address>

Points either to a very strange router action or the router is 'learning'
domain addresses!
What are the settings[1] in the A9home?
[1] The settings you listed for the Iyonix
How old is your router. (very early routers had no or fixed DNS settings)
Instead of using the router address have you tried entering your ISPs DNS
into your Iyonix set up?
