I just had this EXACT same issue happen to me tonight. I was watching HBO on my smart TV, all of a sudden it stopped......I couldn't figure it out. I eventually decided to look at the router settings on my Phone App (Android - Samsung S7 - Verizon) and noticed the "Bypass Login" feature assigned to certain devices.
After reading this post, Zero One mentioned all of the devices set to "None" have been switched to Bypass Login, yet I NEVER DID ANYTHING.
All of the kids were set on Default Router Settings which i pre-set to block certain things or all things at certain times at night and on weekdays (school nights), but my devices are all jacked up now and I can't do anything unless I completely turn off all of the filters.

Protect your kids folks. A wide-open internet is like leaving your kids In public bathroom for hours a day alone.
Stay vigilant. this is a terrible mistake
