Internet not loading right away

So I just moved into a new apartment, and I got all the wireless and everything set up. I'm using a wired connection and it's plugged in the first spot on the router, and plugged into my motherboard. But when I start my computer, and I click Google Chrome, its not connected yet. After about 30 seconds, it's connected. This has never happened before with my internet at home or the one in my old dorm room. Here's the message given to me by Chrome:

Code: 
This webpage is not available
The server at www.yahoo.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the web service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
Check your Internet connection. Reboot any routers, modems, or other network devices you may be using.
Check your DNS settings. Contact your network administrator if you're not sure what this means.
Try disabling network prediction by following these steps: Go to Wrench menu > Options > Under the Hood and deselect "Predict network actions to improve page load performance." If this does not resolve the issue, we recommend selecting this option again for improved performance.
Try adding Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or check with your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, try the following steps: Go to Wrench menu > Options > Under the Hood > Change proxy settings > LAN Settings and deselect "Use a proxy server for your LAN."
Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): Unable to resolve the server's DNS address.

Any idea what could do this?
 
Why don't you check your DNS settings? If you are using a Windows OS you could access the setting easily in the advanced tab of any connection or if you would like you could change the DNS in your router. Try google DNS: 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4 it is really faster than all the other available DNSes. OpenDNS is also a good choise if you care more about the security than speed, you get a lot of options for using OpenDNS. To find out how to set the DNS setting for your router check the manuals.

Hope it helped.
