RAX20 Blocking specific Site
My Nighthawk RAX20 blocks one site I've eleminated it being a website, hosting, ISP or computer problem. It all points back to my router. The error message is ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
I've done everything I can think of:
All of the NIC troubleshooting and restoring, flush dns ,clear catalog etc.
Cleared browser cache
Temporarily disable antivirus and firewall software
rebooted the cable modem
rebooted the router
rebooted my PC
updated the router firm ware
changed DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
If I move my cable directy to the cable modem (bypassing the router) I can access the website just fine. It is only when I'm going through the router that the site is blocked.
Running my ASUS router the website responds just well.
Any other suggestions besides abandoning the Netgear router ??
So much for that fix.
It worked for a short time and the problem is back.
Netgear support is not responsive.
My only solution to have a reliable router is to dump the Netgear router and go back to ASUS routers.
Netgear, you can close this post. I'm off to buy a reliable router.

UPDATE !!!
Seen several suggestions to spoof the MAC address. This worked.
I would like thank the guy named Babylon ** but I can't find the article I seen the suggestion on.
All fixed, thanks again

Assuming the site is legit...can you share the URL?
