CALLING NETWORK GURUS - PLEASE HELP A BROTHER OUT! Bounty available for any hero that suggests something leading to a fix!

Last week my home network suddenly started showing certain devices as 'connected / no internet access'. It seems to only be affecting mobile phones (iPhone and Androids), tablets and the TV. My Linux machine and Macbook are not being affected whatsoever, nor are any ethernet devices like my nodes and security cameras.

When these devices show the error, there is nothing apparent that causes it. There is also nothing apparent that allows them to connect again and function normally (for a short time at least).

Today my ISP sent me a new router, but that did not fix the issue. There has been no devices added or removed from the network in recent weeks that coincide with the problem starting. Finally, I tried setting a static IP on the router for one of the problem devices, but that made no difference.

Quick update - I changed nothing and it was fine all day yesterday 🤷‍♂️

Did you just switch it off and back on again? Joke aside glad it is back working

Haha yeah i tried that many times whilst I was having the issues and it did nothing. No idea what the 'fix' was in the end which is frustrating.

Agreed it would be much better to know what is driving the issues. Good day to you

What are the dns settings of all of the devices? Do you set a custom dns server that is assigned to all devices via dhcp? I suspect the devices that work are connecting via vpn or for some reason arent using the dns server configured by dhcp and the ones that are failing were not getting a response from the dns server.
