Solved: Unable to access a specific website from Linksys E1200 Router

6v0nb · Dec 9, 2013

I am unable to access a specific website from my Linksys E1200 router. The Linksys router is able to access every other website that I tried except for this one particular website. I am able to ping the website just fine, but cannot access the site. I narrow it down to the router since every computer connected to the router is unable to access the specific website, but when I changed to my other router, I'm able to access the specific website. Any ideas?

Edit to add: I've tried disabling the firewall...powering down router for a while...tweaking the MTU setting. I'm totally at a lost on what could be the problem.

you can block specific websites

are you asked for a password

When someone tries to open a blocked website, a window opens asking for the parental controls password. Enter the password to view the blocked content.

After searching the web, finally found the answer. I changed the MAC address of the router and it works now.

Just out of interest, what was the website?

It's a private server I had set up for remote access to my security system.
