Unable to load Amazon, Problem Upstream From Modem
I have bypassed my router with a direct cable connection to the modem, turned off web acceleration, reset the MBX, and have attempted rebooting the modem. The problem is across computers, users, and...
Good morning everyone,
Just got word that Amazon should be working properly now. If you made any workaround changes, please revert back to your original settings and give it a test run.
Thank you,

Back when I owned Gen 4 (on Gen 5 now), I had similar issue but with Paypal. For the life of me emptying cache and all that, multiple systems, etc... I could not get paypal to work. Unplug the modem, wait a few minutes, reconnected, and walla! it now worked.
Have you tried unplugging your modem and leaving unpowered for a few and trying again? Was not sure if rebooting the modem meant a soft reset from the admin at 192.168.0.1 or a unplug.

Could be a corrupted DNS cache causing this.
You may want to consider disconnecting power to the modem, and your third party router, then change the DNS provider to Googles DNS. Once you have done that, you may want to flush your DNS records on your computer.If that doesn't work, you may want to change your DNS server on your computer back to Automatic.
Was just about to also suggest it might be a DNS problem.
I've also had a problem where Amazon wouldn't load in the past. Rebooting the modem and any other external routers fixed it right up.
Thanks for all the replies! Can those with the issue give rebooting the modem/router a try? If that doesn't work, let me know. I am still waiting on an engineering reply.
