R6020 blocking access to certain websites

Hi.

 

I am getting "This site can’t be reached" <website> took too long to respond. errors, only on certain Russian websites.

 

If I plug my network cable directly into my modem, thereby bypassing my AC750 router, I can load the site/sites just fine. I can also load these sites using mobile networks (4G/5G). I can only guess that my router is blocking my access to these sites. By restarting my router or turning certain settings off (and on again sometimes), I can *sometimes* load these sites. 

 

There are no traces of my router blocking these sites in the router log.

 

I do not want to depend on resetting or restarting my router to solve issues. How can I permanently fix issues like this? Is this a known issue? I am running the latest firmware version and do not have any other issues.

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for General Router products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with older routers and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Try a factory reset on the router and setup from scratch. 

Be sure your not in a double NAT condtion with a router in front of the 6020 router. 


Please use this link to the main forum product list to review and choose where to make your posts.
