Router randomly blocking websites

The most imortant part of the MAC address change process is that you power cycle the modem (the router also if you want, but particularly the modem). If you don't do this the MAC address change at the router will simply kill your Internet connection. More often than not this fixes the issue of unreachable websites, which more often than not is nothing to do with the router (whatever the brand).lottathought wrote: I did try your suggestion Searay..in fact I tried several combinations....nothing.
