My bet is somewhere along the way you made some seemingly innocent change to
the router's settings based on incomplete information about what the impact
of the change would be. Perhaps you read somewhere that this or that should
be enabled or disabled because it provides more security, but it wasn't
fully explained why it provides more security, and actually had other
unintended results.
Reset the router to factory specs, and set it up from scratch again. Pay
close attention to any changes you make in the configuration, and what
impact they have. If you're not sure of what the full impact is of any
changes you make from the factory settings, don't make the change until you
research it. Don't make any changes based on blind-faith; know what the
change does.
