ISP Blocking Roblox Install?

Hi,

A few days ago I was installing the newest Roblox version (version-8764cc9c84a5459a) and somewhere along the line I started being unable to properly launch the game from the website. Before then I was able to play without issue. There are two errors I'm facing (which may be the same issue):

• When I run the Roblox Installer on Admin mode: Continue installation without flag settings from https://clientsettingscdn.roblox.com/v2/settings/application/PCClientBootstrapper
• Or this: Failed to download or apply critical settings, please check your internet connection. Error info: HttpError: DnsResolve

I'm currently on Windows 11 and my cable modem is a TP-Link Archer CR700. My PC is connected through an Ethernet cable directly to the modem.

Roblox will run in the background as Roblox (32 bit) or the Game client after I try to manually launch/install, but refuse to display the game launcher or do anything really.

I have tried various methods to no avail (Not in order):

• Restarting PC
• Restarting Router physically/Rebooting through TP-Link website
• DNS Flushing
• Uninstalling GeForce Experience
• Deleting Roblox (Both Temp and Appdata files)
• Reinstalling Roblox (Runs into DNS Resolve Error)
• Network Reset through Windows
• Adjusting Internet Properties (SSL, TLS according to various videos)
• Changing DNS manually
• Using a different browser
• Activating a VPN (VeePN)
• Allowing Roblox through my Firewall
• Temporarily disabling all my firewalls
• Deactivating Windows Defender
• Tinkering with the modem's settings through the TP-Link Website (Parental Control is off)
• Manually changing DNS through Network Connections control panel (IPv4) to 8 8 8 8, 8 8 4 4 (I have no idea what this is supposed to do, still doesn't work)
• Updating Wi-Fi driver from Intel website

Notably, when I switch to my Mobile Hotspot (Verizon) I am able to properly install and play Roblox from the launcher and website. When I switch back to my Wi-Fi however it goes back to running in the background. Additionally, I downloaded Roblox for the first time on my home laptop, running on the same Wi-Fi network, and it too faced the DnsResolve error when installing. Annoyingly, the Microsoft Store version of Roblox is fully functional but is essentially unplayable if you have more than one monitor due to some dumb issues that should have been fixed a long time ago, but I digress.

This is a log I managed to dig up showcasing both the DnsResolve and direction to the PCCBootstrapperClient:

I'm really at a loss here, I've tried a bunch of methods from various videos and no dice. I'm starting to think this is some sort of higher level issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
