Strange issue

Hi: I have a strange issue. There is a website that I read. For the past few weeks, I can not add any comments to the readers section. I write comments, but they never show on the website. Then, recently, I was out of town. I went to the website to comment, and they showed on the comments section. What?? Is this an issue with the modem? I'm stumped.

    Not likely an issue with the modem.

     

    Most likely an issue with the cache on the web browser you are using. 

     

    Are you using a mobile device (Android or iOS) or a computer?

     

    What is the version of Windows and the name of the web browser?

      Thanx for answering. The website is tvline.com.I use Win 11 on a laptop. What I do not understand is that when I use my cell, and NOT on my Netgear modem, it works OK. And as I stated, I was out of town on a hotel WIFI, and it worked then too. To me, it sounds like an issue with my modem.

        Try a different DNS Server. Here's a few. Also remember to change the ipv6 dns server if ipv6 is enabled.
        CloudFlare
        IPv4: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
        IPv6: 2606:4700:4700:0:0:0:0:1111 and 2606:4700:4700:0:0:0:0:1001
        GoogleDNS
        IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
        IPv6: 2001:4860:4860:0:0:0:0:8888 and 2001:4860:4860:0:0:0:0:8844
