Having a tough time figuring this out.
I've definitely isolated the issue to this router.
Prevents and redirects me from hitting sites like home.nest.com.
even hitting apple.ca doesn't work (had to bounce off my 4g to hit this page).
Tried resetting it twice. it works for 5 minutes, and then back to the same issues. help!?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
I'm not sure what to do with that.
It ultimately suggests a firmware update. Not sure there is new firmware for this device. Am I missing something?
I've already isolated the problem. Have done most of the things in that article.
The latest firmware version for any of the 802.11n AirPort base stations is currently: 7.6.4
Although anything is possible, I'm unaware of anyone successfully hacking firmware on any of the Apple base stations. That would include hacking from a remote location or in direct physical possession of the device itself. I would venture to say the issue may be more likely to be DNS-related.
What do you think I should do?
One option is to try using a public DNS service. A common one is provided by Google. Their DNS servers are: 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4
You can make this change either on your MacBook Pro directly via System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS or to your AirPort base station using the AirPort Utility. Note that doing so on the AirPort will provide these DNS servers to all network clients, whereas, doing so on your Mac will only affect your Mac.
