Router randomly blocking websites
This is one of the stranger things that I have ever seen. My router is connected to the internet...and I can get to the internet...at least some of it. It is blocking certain websites however. ...
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.
Possible issue with DNS?
lottathought, Since you've indicated you are connected to the internet, "some of it". How about opening a command prompt and trying to ping the sites you are unable to reach.
What is the exact message you receive when you attempt to open or navigate to a site that worked previously. The router doesn't block sites by default.
