Wireless devices can (often) not access wired Philips Hue bridge

XIII

Part of the Furniture
My Philips Hue bridge 2.0 is connected to my router via a wire, as is my PC. From my PC I can always access the Hue bridge by entering its IP address. However on my iPad I can only sometimes connect to it and on my iPhone almost never. As a result I can no longer control the lights via the Hue App, HomeKit, or Siri. This is extremely annoying...

What can be the reason that wireless devices cannot access a wired device on the router (AC66U, running Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67) providing the wireless network? (I tried both 2.4 and 5 GHz, with identical results)

(this problem popped up about a week ago; everything worked fine for several months before)
 
I upgraded to 380.68 alpha 2 and the bridge is working again. Hope it stays that way!
