Tomorrow morning I will check the contents of /etc/yum.repo.d files and 
if corrupted I will copy from the working machine to the router (it 
should be no problem): any other configuration file to check?
I assume that iptables is not the issue as other machines are working on 
same network...selinux is disabled, the router is working from the old 
RedHat 8.0 old times and went through updates.
But before any files switch I want to check if yum will work with no 
modifications, maybe connected to some strange problem with server...
