403 Forbidden error on 1 website
I have a N600 Wireless Dual Band Router WNDR 3400v3. For some reason, this now blocks my personal business website: www.norcorealtygroup.com . It just stopped yesterday, mid day, as I was creating a new page within the website. The error message I get is 403 Forbidden with "nginx" right underneath it. I am running on a Mac if that makes a difference. Here is what I have done so far:
1) Cleared all history, cache, cookies, bookmarks etc. (on multiple browsers)
2) I have had the same issue on my Mac, Iphone, Toshiba.
3) I have tried different browsers
4) I can access my website when I am connected to my personal hotspot on my phone or when im on data.
5) I can also access the website when Im connected directly to my internet modem (i think thats what its called)
6) other people/parties can access my website on a different wireless connection
7) updated my Mac
8) updated firmware in wireless router.
So my question is, what is causing this and how do I fix! Please help!
A HTTP 403 error can only come from the web server itself, which means that your router cannot possibly be blocking your website. You should check whether your web server is blocking access from your IP address.

So what I did was change my MAC Adress on the wireless router itself and rebooted it. It gave me a new IP and everything works fine now.
