Firmware version? Connected to what?
"Unable" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what
you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.

Nor can I, but I also can't see which URL you're using, or which
error message you get when it fails. I might guess that your wired and
wireless devices do DNS differently, but with no useful information,
that's a shot in the dark.
General advice: A forum or Web search for an actual error message can
be much more helpful than a search for "unable" or "can no longer".

When I try to navigate to the IP address of the router 192.168.1.1 I get a message that internet access is blocked. I have set up no blocking on the router. The firmware is version 1.0.11.126.
When I navigate to the same IP address on my Pixel 5 phone I can access it, but due to the size of the screen navigation is cumbersome.
I have reset the router to factory settings twice and set everything back up. But I had to do so from my phone.
This only seems to happen when I try to access it from a Desktop PC. Which as mentioned is hard wired.
I have searched this forum and the web without success which is why I am posting here to see if there is anything else to try.
