Orbi or iOS 14 blocking websites/apps
Since setting up my mesh Orbi (RBR750) system I have noticed websites and apps on my phone (iPhone 12 with iOS 14) will not load, “server not found” & “try connecting again” errors are occurring. I di...
Thanks for the provided link, I have read similar threads. Tried both private and not. Seems to be indifferent.
As for the ports: 443 is to allow HTTPS and 80 is for HTTP. I have read several complaints that porting both helps.
This morning I have reset my modem (personally owned Arris S33 D3.1) through my ISP, and rebooted my router after applying WPA3 security. That did not change anything except remove my IoT that cannot connect that way, so that’s not an option either.

As I wrote, it didn't seem to apply.

I know how these ports are used. What you did with them is (still) a
mystery. If you're talking about port forwarding, then that is relevant
for _incoming_ connections to a (web) server; it's irrelevant for using
a web browser. What, exactly, does "porting" a port or "doing" a port
mean to you? I also don't know what you might have read.

That's a modem; it should be transparent.
Does this iPhone work as expected when connected to some other
router? Do other wireless devices work (with the same web sites/pages)
that cause problems with this iPhone?
"server not found" sounds like DNS, but I know nothing about your DNS
configuration(s).
- As for what I did with ports: Under advanced/security/block services I listed the two mentioned as “never” block for all IPs. Maybe that’s foolish of me.
I did a modem reset from my ISP account, and then a router reboot afterwards—that seems to have helped over the weekend. Other devices have no problem with websites that the iPhone had problems with. But the apps that were in question were exclusive to the phone and appear to be fine now.> [...] Under advanced/security/block services I listed the two

not to block anything. I wouldn't expect adding explicit rules which do
nothing to be helpful.> [...] appear to be fine now.
Watchful waiting might be the best you can do for now.
