The wifi router gets an external public ip address lease on a periodic basis from an dhcp service belonging to the ISP.
Depending on where that leased ip address is on a black list or not, some sites may check these blacklists and reject a connection, in a similar way that many mail service providers are checking mail domains looking for spammers.

Sounds like a low probability Jose, but it could be. Was it Arthur Conan Doyle or Data on Star Trek that said: "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."

Hi, Den!
I see your point and agree with it.

IP ban or IP blocking are used on web servers protected by firewalls since long time ago to block spammers, crawlers and brute force attacks.

That said, I was not saying that this was the case here.
My only observation was to eliminate possible causes, as i do when troubleshooting issues on my customers.
