Hello. I am having issues with my RT-N66R with latest firmware 3.0.0.4.380_3264 blocking certain websites; I don't have any issues when my Macbook Pro is connected directly to the cable modem via ethernet cable. I have been having this issue for several months but it's just really gotten to me and I am determined to fix it. The websites I like to visit that are blocked when using my Asus router either via Wifi or ethernet include www.monoprice.com and macys.com among others. I don't have any specific websites blocked in the router settings and am wondering what it could be? Pretty much all the settings in the router are default as I am not a techie. I can access many other websites just wondering why my Asus router won't let me connect to certain websites like monoprice and macys? When trying to access monoprice Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Problem Solved - I went into my router's interface - WAN section and clicked on MAC CLONE in the MAC ADDRESS section and then hit apply and boom now I can access those websites
 
Thanks for responding. Would it still be my ISP if I can connect to those websites when I have my laptop connected directly to the cable modem thus bypassing the router?
Yes....when you connect via your laptop you will get a different WAN IP address.....

Wow , after two days of having the same problem, and searching everywhere for a solution , that worked for me too! on my RT-AC87U. I could not access some of my websites while connected to my wireless router , it only worked if i had connected the cable directly from cable modem to my pc!.
Thanks for pointing that out, all works now.
P.
 
oh wow, this MAC CLONE fixed it for me too.
Pretty much 99% of the internet works as normal except this one website.
After doing MAC CLONE, the site will work.
Can someone explain what's the black magic behind this?
From reading MAC CLONE's purpose, the internet should totally work or not work if the ISP has that restriction.
o_O

edit:
Nevermind, I spoke too soon, stopped working again, even with the MAC CLONE.
