Also some routers can seem to lock things out for no apparent reason, I
assume you have tried a router reboot. It would be interesting to know if smart phones or other wifi devices like Amazon smart speakers are connecting OK. Often this sort of thing can be due to interference on one way or the others comms, a channel is being used by a neighbour etc, so the signal quality may be so bad it cannot hear the return signals properly.
