Router blocking 1 website
Hello, I have read through the other similar discussions. One specific website has stopped connecting thru my router. This started all of a sudden a few weeks ago. Devices that I can bypass the r...
Thanks to all who tried to help. Through process of elimination, I decided to exchange the modem under warranty. Installed the new upgraded modem, had it activated by my ISP WOW, and the site is back ??
Whatever, it worked, sad though the hours and hours spent trying to figure this out.

Tracert reports destination host unreachable
Yet, i can bypass router and go right there.
Can you post the tracert? Just looking to see if the website resolves to IP 208.71.128.50 or not. If it doesn't, can you post a tracert to 208.71.128.50 directly? Trying to see if its a DNS or firewall issue.

It looks to be resolving to the correct IP but isn't routing. Can you post a tracert to the same IP when connecting direct to the modem? Also, do you have any parantal controls set up with W.O.W or on the router?
The trace looks to be getting to your ISP, so that tells me its making it past your router, but your ISP isn't allowing it to route. Maybe it works when directly connected because you are getting a different IP when bypassing the router, and that IP block routes?
I did try going directly PC to modem, but had the same result. Before I forget thanjs for your interest and help !!!
I have never played with any parental controls from the ISP or Netgear, or Norton for that matter.
The only way I reach that one site from here is through Ipad and I phone with the WiFi disconnected on the device.
This is what happened with the PC direct to modem:
