"This site cannot be reached" intermittent issue.

My WiFi strength and internet speeds are normally good. About 5 minutes out of an hour I lose the ability to connect to new pages and will get the message "This Site Cannot Be Reached."  If I've connected to something prior, downloading a file, streaming music, they will continue to work.
