LG Smart TV - Unable to Update Apps

Since switching to Vodafone Broadband, I have discovered that none of our 3 LG Smart TVs can update any of the installed Apps nor install new ones. The existing installed Apps work correctly and I am able to freely browse the Internet on the Web App. Additionally I have just discovered that our Panasonic Smart TV cannot run any of its installed Apps. The Compatibility mode does not help. Connecting any of the TVs via a Mobile Hotspot and everything works as it should.  I feel as if the Power Hub Router is blocking connections but there is a lack of documentation available on this Router to look into this.  Has anyone else had this problem and solved it?

@Ben55 It might just be a case of opening some ports on the router. The link below is from a technical site.

After a number of power cycles and then leaving it overnight, it now works!  Strange, fingers crossed all will remain well.
