Got a link to that stuff? It would be useful if we want to pass it on to the Netgear team.

These "blocked sites" things come up from time to time. Not sure that anyone has got to the bottom of them. Sometimes it is just a moved site with a new IP address.

Not, by any chance, a Windows thing?

I ask because you mention the laptop, which I assume means wired LAN. Does wifi do the same thing?

PS Don't expect new firmware for a cable modem. ISPs have to do that, and many just don't bother.

  I have tried it on my android phone, using chrome, as well as the android browser.
  
  I have also tried multiple IOS devices as well, using safari.
  
  Tried my laptop with hard wired connection to the orbi... still same denied... ouy...
  
  I get that there are some websites that get blocked, but a router should just do that... route to the destiniation.
  
  I appriciate all the help people are giving me with suggestions.

I normally would agree with you.

Here is the issue: gives access denied when I am using the orbi. When I take it away and hook up with my laptop directly to the cable modem, then it works. Put it back in place, then its denied.

I was doing some reading apparently this is a known issue with the orbi rbk50.
