Website blocked by Armor (or Orbi) when Armor turned off.

I cannot access a website (www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au), which I have accessed many times in the past when connected through my Orbi router.  I have turned Netgear Armor off using the Orbi iOS app, but that did not help.

 

I am able to access this website when I connect through my iPhone hotspot, so it is clearly a problem with the Armor or the Netgear Orbi router blocking the website. The website is not listed as a blocked site in Armor.

 

One suggested solution is to reset the Orbi system and not turn Armor on, but this is not a satisfactory solution in my view, as I purchased a  paid subscription to Armor for the protection it claims to provide.

 

My Orbi System is an RBR50 router, with two RBS50 satelites connected. Firmware is the latest version V 2.5.1.16.
