Night Hawk R8000 Blocking *.MIL Web Sites
Cannot access ANY *.MIL web sites using home wifi. All other domains are accessible (including *.GOV). I've been able to access *.MIL sites since 1999. This JUST STARTED the evening of 10 June 21. There are NO restrictions in my router, network, browswers, etc. NO MATTER the device, if it's connected to my home wifi, I cannot connect to *.MIL web sites. ALL devices will connect if I'm NOT using my home wifi.
Suggestions?

You have the R8000?
What firmware is on it?
What modem/gateway are you connecting it to?
Have you tried a different dns provider? you can try googles at 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 or cloudfare at 1.1.1.1
Yeah good luck with this, please let me know if you find anything. I just called Netgear and despite this being an obvious issue on their end, they wanted to charge me for support on it. Pretty sure I'll be switching back to Motorola.
I disabled the IPV4 Firewall protection and that got them working again. Will see for how long.
Hey, so above. Go into the router setting and disable the routers Firewall settings. They did change something, likely in an effort to get people who want it fixed to pay for it. That has worked for me so far. If they change something else I will just get a new router. This will definately be my last Netgear product for sure though. Them trying to charge us to fix a problem they made is actually criminal.
