Some game scripts won’t load through my netgear router — dns or firewall issue?
Hey everyone,
I’m hoping someone here can help me figure out a strange network issue. I’ve noticed that some gaming-related websites and scripts don’t load properly when I’m on my home netgear router, but they work fine when I switch to mobile data. One example is when I try to access delta executor scripts through a site.
Sometimes the page only half loads, and other times the scripts just never finish downloading. I’ve already tried rebooting the router and disabling basic security features, but it still happens. That makes me wonder if something like DNS filtering, firewall rules, or content protection on the router is blocking certain script files.
Has anyone else run into this kind of thing with netgear routers? Are there specific settings I should check to make sure legitimate game-related scripts and sites aren’t being blocked by mistake?
Would really appreciate any advice.

FYI, this might not be the router, it could also be due to your internet service provider.
If you can reach the site in the first place, it is unlikely to to be DNS - especially if you are copy/pasting the scripts posted on that site (as opposed to downloading from a link to the script).
Do you have Armor installed?
What router model do you own?
Hello!
Netgear routers can block or interfere with certain gaming sites or scripts due to parental controls, DNS filtering, or firewall settings. To fix this, update the router firmware, switch DNS to a public option like Google or Cloudflare, and check that parental/content filters are off. If advanced firewall features are enabled, disable them temporarily to test. If issues persist, reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure—it usually clears hidden rules that block legitimate traffic.
