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 ??

Is it worth paying Netgear Premium Service to try and figure it out ?
Anybody ? Any last thoughts ?

Actually, I can go next door and get the site in question using the same ISP.
Hi Waynefi,
Try MAC spoofing. Some reported that this step works on issues like this.

I misread your earlier post saying that you connected normally when you bypassed the router (I thought you said it failed both ways).
So Mac spoofing is worth a try (setting the router WAN mac address to match the PC that works when you do the bypass). It is weird though.
Been through all that please see postings.
