Hey there,

Since a couple of hours ago Ive been having some internet trouble.

Connected to my wireless router I am unable to load many sites, google, facebook, ebay and others wont work. but a few do.

Ive rung my isp several times and they assure me that cos i can access some sites that my service is fine. So i ethernet lined straight into my modem and now everything works.

Does anyone know what I can do about my router not letting me into some sites? I have already restored it to fctory settings.

cheers

Are you sure its your router and not some Parental Control software installed on your computer?

Hah, this is strange, it just started happen to me this day too. I also have some major strange problem using ventrilo. If this problem won't fix itself, I go whine on my internet service :p

What type of router do you have? And what type of options for WAN do you know are set?

Are the sites you cannot access always inaccessible? (Meaning that if you cant connect to google now, you can't tomorrow... that its consistently blocked)

My router has differnet options for the WAN. You can set two passwords, and one password has full access the other is "limited"

When limited is selected:

- You do not have access to the routers settings page (192.168.2.1)
- You can apply site filters to block IP address or DNS hosts (ie, google.com)
- You can restrict port access

My guess would be you're either using the limited password or if you only have one WAN password/network key, its settings are set to limited.


I really don't know of any routers that intentionally block sites like Google though, even with limited accounts. You might also try updating the routers firmware.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
