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.

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.
