Hi Ian

I installed the WPA4220T kit after having issues with my BT Broadband Hub 2 router not reaching areas of the house.


I've also had issues accessing the BBC website and other websites for no apparent reason, but after switching to Sky Broadband I've realised the issue was with the WPA4220T, which I'd initially set up with the same SSID name as my main broadband to get a mesh effect connection.

Can you advise how you turned off the three elements that let you connect to these sites without issue?

Kind regards

 

  @Bewildered52 under the security tab I switched off bottom to top, it seemed that disabling web protection only left the problem in place, but also it stopped being able to disable intrusion protection. So, switch off IoT protection, then Intrusion protection, then Web Protection then access should work.

My understanding is that the BBC detect the routing through a third party site and reject the connection.

Mine's exactly the same. I haven't managed to make it work at all yet. Temporarily reverted one of my old x68 units to be master & now bbc can be accessed ok. Must be issue with XE75. Going to take the XE75 kit back for refund as pretty crap if you can't access BBC in UK!

  @IanMSpencer I had exactly the same issue. I had a Brume2 acting as a firewall and ended up resetting everything that I'd spent months setting up. That didn't help so after ruling out DNS and all kinds of other things I started blaming Starlink geolocation. After sending them all kinds of information I was still not confident it was Starlink as some BBC sites worked on iPhone, but not on iPlayer on the iPhone. However iPlayer worked on TVs. BBC websites didn't work at all on laptops - just got connection refused but tracert showed ICMP was fine.

So I tried ChatGPT and it eventually suggested Homeshield. I thought it unlikely that a mainstream function like this would block the BBC, but after disabling IoT, IP and Web Protection, it started working!!!

What's even stranger is that re-enabling them did not break the BBC again. At least not yet. I can only imagine there was some corrupt filtering rule or something like that?

 @David-TP just tagging you in case this info helps...

 Correction ... you have to leave all three off. Once you've loaded content it then works, but no new content will load with any of them enabled. What a strange issue. The number of hours I have spent working on this!
