Should be no need to reinstall sounds like you have some wrong settings within internet explorer or on your modem. Whilst in internet explorer go into tools then to the advanced tab and check that all the settings are correct. If this is the case it could be a problem with your dns server which may mean your router is faulty or the dns server needs to be restarted this can be done on the command prompt (under accessories) using ipconfig /? this will inform you how to restart your dns server. Hope this helps.
