I've just Facory Reset my NetGear R6050 & Changed ISP Router, at the same time, and since then I've been constantly blocked from "normal" websites quite randomly - ie.: NetGear, Reddit, Globo (major BR Portal), Gupy (Major BR RH services) are blocked; but most common sites like Google, Youtube, LinkedIn work normally .
First I though this would be a Firmware problem, so I updated it after a little gymnastics since I wasn't able to reach NetGear websie - the problem got better at first, now it's bad again.
Then I though this would be a DNS problem, so I tried 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 but still, problem remains.
I even tried using PING to the websites that won't load, it actually works.
This happens regardless of browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave) or device (2 Notebooks, 2 iPhone), and is quite consistent - same problem with same sites.
Any hypothesis?
It feels like there's some kind of configuration in the Router that keeps a backdoor open, but I'm unable to find it (probably due to lack of experience).
Also I had a problem with this product in which no matter what link I typed, it would redirect me to a Russian webpage... back then it was just a firmware fix. Don't know exactly what was 😕
It does find the Mitrastar GPT-2741GNAC. If that is what you have then, this is a modem/router.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local problems with address on your network. Among other things, the other router can misdirect traffic to addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual default IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
Unless you have specific reasons for using two routers – to create two separate networks for example – it is often easier to use just one router and then to set up the second router as a wifi access point (AP) with a wired connection to the main router.

That's the one 😬!

It's basically to enhance signal reach, as the ISP Router doesn't get to our bedrooms.
I was kind of trying On-Off other settings, unclicked the Router as DHCP Server option... that may be bad?
