I'm going to drop this here because I don't know where else I should put this but I need some help.

I cannot connect to one specific website and its corresponding app over my Wi-Fi. When I turn Wi-Fi off I can connect to the website and the app on my iPhone.

On my MacBook I cannot connect to the website at all and since my MacBook runs entirely on Wi-Fi I can't see if it connects over an LTE or 5G network.

Any ideas what could be happening that one website/app will not load?

My son lives 3 miles away and also has fios service and he's able to get the mobile website and app on his phone.

I'm assuming has something to do with my router which I've unplugged hoping to reset it

It might be a certificate issue where you need to install a missing certificate - Clearing your browser cache and cookies might resolve the issue as well.

If clearing the browser cache doesn't work, it is likely that the IP address you got from your ISP is banned or otherwise blacklisted from that site. I get that occasionally when on VPN to ESPN to watch hockey.

Either reboot your modem or go into your Router and look for the connection to your ISP (usually called Internet or WAN) and look for something that says something like renew DHCP or renew IP. Sometimes rebooting your modem doesn't work because when it comes back up it gives you the same IP.

Just saw this thread and thinking that also that the DNS might be an issue. I don’t remember the commands on a Mac to flush the DNS though.

But what was mentioned above are what I would think of also.
