I noticed it with a few pages when I tried. Facebook seemed to load OK when I opened it in a browser on which I was already signed in. When I loaded it on another browser, I got text only. AOL loaded with no images, as did a couple others that I tried. However, when I bypassed the router everything seemed to clear up. I installed a new router at that customer's location and did not see the problem afterwards. The customers who I have heard this from all are using fairly antiquated routers, but they're all different brands. Just seems strange that I would see similar symptoms arising from more than one of them.
