AC1200 Wifi Range Extender model EX6110
A few days after successful installation of this extender, it started blocking ESPN, substituting http://www.mywifiext.net/ for espn.go.com.
OS affected are Windows 7 and Windows 10. Impacts Chrome and IE. Today, it decided to block the University of Kentucky Athletics website. What's next: my bank?? Extender has been reset several times. Support is worth than useless. Talked to me as if I were an idiot -
Case #: 29718269
Case Summary: EX6110 - Unable to access few websites
Product: EX6110

When you are saying blocked are you saying it give a message saying blocked or the web page fails to load?

No blockage indicator. The correct URL: espn.go.com is REPLACED with http://www.mywifiext.net/. Chrome History indicates simulatneous 'espn.go.com' followed by http://www.mywifiext.net/. Based on prior community comments, there is a serious urrl misdirection regarding this device.
