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.
I believe the Original Poster (OP) was attempting to say "Never block https." As I pointed out in post #6, In the context of Service Blocking, "Never" means "Do not enable this feature at any time."
I am stunned that spoofing the router MAC address could have been the solution, because it worked before."

Fully with you, does not make much sense - especially as the "magic 50USD solution" for me, too.
- We went through fairly simple steps over the phone. Laptop to ISP modem, lookup MAC address, copy that MAC address into the Orbi, Did a full restart of both modem and router. And that was really it. I’m I happy that I paid $50, no but it resolved the issue.
