R7000p Nighthawk AC2300 WiFi Router Blocking Website
My AC2300 Nighthawk router (R7000P) is blocking a website I need for work. If I switch to my phone's hotspot, I can access it. If I switch back to wifi, I can't. How do I make this an allowed website...
Do you have Armor enabled?
No I do not.
That isn't the only thing that can block websites. Even browsers can get picky.
How many browsers have you tried?
What messages do you get from the site?
Any sign of action in the logs for the R7000P?
I've tried Safari, Firefox, & Chrome (Mac user). As I said, I can connect to the website if I switch from wifi to my phones hotspot. How do I check the logs?
This is the message I get in Firefox:
"The connection has timed out
An error occurred during a connection to thesource.jfs.ohio.gov.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web."This is the message I get in Safari:
"Safari can't open the page.
Safari can't open the page "https://thesource.jfs.ohio.gov/agent.html" because the server where this page is located isn't responding."
This is the message I get in Chrome:
"This site can’t be reachedthesource.jfs.ohio.gov took too long to respond.
Try:Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUTCheck your Internet connection
Check any cables and reboot any routers, modems, or other network devices you may be using.
Allow Chrome to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings.
If it is already listed as a program allowed to access the network, try removing it from the list and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server…
Check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server: Go to Applications > System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and deselect any proxies that have been selected."
