Without reading any further, this simply =reeks= of being a DNS problem.
(99.999998792+% of all "30+ seconds to something over the net" problems
are timeout issue. :)

I suspect:
   a) the new router is not using the same 'local network' adddress as the
      old one was,  This is not a total show stopper, because everyting 
      'local' is using DHCP to get both the local machine address _and_ 
      the router address. 
   b) you have a DNS server address hard-coded in the /etc/resolv.conf file.
      (the old router and new router are providing DNS proxy services on
       *different* addresses, and wyat you have hard-coded is the -old-
       address)
   c) your FBSD machine is trying to query the hard-coded DNS server 
      address _first_, and when it gets no response, it *eventually*
      (ie. after 30 seconds) tries the 'second' DNS server address it has,
      which is the one learned by DHCP -- that works, the name resolves,
      and the page loads.

On a WORKING windows box click "Start->Run", and type 'ipconfig/all' in the
box, to see what it is using for a DNS server.

Check '/etc/resolv.conf' on your FreeBSD box, and see if it lists a 
*different* address on a 'namemserver' line.
