Re: Orbi router is blocking me from accessing my personal website only?
Same issue. I admin a website and was uploading FTP. After all done, I went back to look at the website and it showed me a blank page. (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT). I thought I made a mistake somewher...
Thank you, I paid the $50
Netgear Support called me and they resolved it pretty quick. Spoofing the MAC address did the trick.
Router MAC Address > uncheck Use Default Address > Use This MAC Address (ethernet)
Thank you again for responding. I hope this trick will help other people.
Thank you for responding. Sorry I was unclear.
After the initial reset and a 30-30-30 reset, the Orbi app prompted to connect to ORBIXX, but was unable to connect to ORBIXX.
With the erase function in the WebGUI was able to finally connect to ORBIXX. Went through the ORBI setup, new SSID, and password. Added FTP and HTTPS to blocked services (never) everything else default.
The ORBI app prompts me to activate ARMOR and SMART PARENTAL CONTROLS which I ignore.
Everything seems to work fine, cameras connects, TVs connect, laptops, and phones connect. speed is good.
Open browser, open our website and ...
Little loading circle and then blank page with the error message. FTP not connecting.
Tested other sites and FTP seems to all work just fine.

Thanks. Very clear.
I see no reason to put anything in the Block Services page if it is set to Never. Never means "do not enable the Block Services feature."
How about different browsers and different computers?
What the heck was that "testing" with SSH?
Reading some posts on this forum and Reddit It seems that it might be something with Armor (Bitdefender blocking the website) or SPC but both are stuck behind a paywall. I don't feel we need to pay for a subscription or gearhead subscription to get our website back enabled if we haven't had any other issues with the product. I wish the original poster would respond and let us know if they ever got a solution from Netgear.
