Timeouts for "some" sites may require more debugging. A site can be
having any problem or your ISP may be having a routing issue with that
specific server... hard to tell what can be happening.
If using Firefox, you can just disable ipv6 because some sites become
painfully slow when this is enabled (about:config → filter by "ipv6" →
and set "network.dns.disableIPv6" to "true"). After that, restart Firefox/
Iceweasel.

This is what puzzles me because I definitely see no (good|logical) reason
for not getting access to the web interface from Debian. Ethernet is one
of the most standarized technologies out there so I dunno what can be
happening with that DSL modem.
Have you tried to get access by telnet ("telnet 192.168.1.254"). Some
routers do also allow to be managed in this way :-?
