Can check if direct ONT, any issue ?
From my experience, found that most of the time, the router is the culprit.

From WIKI HOW:
Change your DNS server. You can manually enter an alternative DNS server to attempt to connect to instead. To do so, open the "ncpa.cpl" window again and right-click on your active connection. Select "Properties".[2]
In the Networking tab, scroll down until you find the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" entry. Click it to select it and then click the Properties button.
Click the "Use the following DNS server addresses" option.
Enter 208.67.222.222 into the "Preferred DNS server" field
Enter 208.67.220.220 into the "Alternate DNS server" field.
These are DNS servers maintained by OpenDNS, an open-source DNS service.

Seems that StarHub DNS down only.

Add in other DNS and u can continue to use. I suggest Google DNS or Open DNS.

If you are using the DIR-868L router, there is an option to use OpenDNS under Parental Control

So far works great
