Router randomly blocking sites

Hi,

I posted this earlier in “Network Queries” which I think was incorrect so I’m posting it here instead.

My router seems to have developed a nasty habit of randomly blocking certain sites or routes and I can’t figure out what is going on. 

It’s been happening for a while that on my TV or Firestick some streaming apps will work whilst others will complain of not having a network connection. Tonight (as an example) iPlayer tells me that I don’t have a network connection but Disney+ will work on the same device. 
Earlier my kids were playing Fortnite on laptops next to each other and one of them was working fine and the other one couldn’t reach Epic Games’ servers and trying to visit epicgames.com would result in a network error, although using google was fine. 
Restating the router will often clear the issue momentarily but will usually just shift the issue to another device. It’s genuinely making things unusable at home as it’s pretty unpredictable as to when it will decide to work. 

Has anyone had similar issues and come across a solution?

 

Thanks in advance.
