Requesting help for fixing 406 not acceptable error message on MacBook air

Hello, "406 not acceptable" error message appears when I am trying to access a website. I have used other browsers and it remains. This happens on my MacBook air and on my apple phone while I am at my home. If I am out of my home and accessing the website on my phone, I have no trouble. I contacted my internet provider but they see no issue. I would appreciate any help, thank you.

iPhone XS, iOS 14

Could be an issue with your router or the router's configuration. First thing would be to power cycle the router and waiting about five minutes for the router to finish booting to see if you still have the issue. If this doesn't help, then you may need to check the router's actual configuration, or perhaps reset the router to a default configuration, but you must make sure to reconfigure the router afterwards with a secure password & make sure remote configuration is disabled....you may even need to modify the router's SSID and WiFi password.


Edit: I'm only suggesting the above since you only have the issue at home. I'm assuming the same laptop & Phone work at other locations. I guess there could be an issue with the device's WiFi configuration which is the only other difference that would occur between different locations.


Here is the explanation for the 406 error:
