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.
Maybe a brief summary might help;
1- One website suddenly effected a few weeks ago. Been going there for years on this same ISP. Just shows not available.
2- I can shut WiFi off on my I Phone and Pad and get right to the sight, login, etc... via my verizon cell phone service. But cannot when back on my network.
3- Firewall on or off does not matter. No site blocking or parental software ever used.
4- I can go next door and use thier computer and same ISP get to the site and login.
5- Tracert info above in a few replies. Ping also.
6- Same results with Router in, or direct with modem only.
7- Tried MAC Spoofing, I believe I did it right, including powering everything down. Setup in Netgear Router Software now is the same MAC # as my PC that is hardwired to the router.
8- Though the only MAC # my ISP has registered for me is from my modem.
9- My ISP had tested a few things and had me do a few things no results. Supposedly they escaleted the issue, but that was 4 days ago. I will try then agai this weekend.
Still hoping for a solution.
Any thoughts that it would be worth paying Netgear Premium for help. ? A lot of money if they have no results.
Can you save off a tracert from the neighbor's PC, and perhaps run a fresh one from yours? Then you can compare the two route paths.
Below is neighbors system that connects to the site, ping and tracert. Below this is mine that does not. 2 postings above this one is a summary of all that was done without success. Both using same ISP. WOW Wideopenwest
