Can't reach site

I have 2 computers at different ends of the house, both are wired to the same router (Linksys WRT 1200ac). On one of them I have frequent (may work 1 day per week) problems reaching a particular site (us.battle.net). When I try to browse there I get an error "This site can't be reached, the connection was reset". This only happens on this site but other software on that computer can reach that site (for example the Blizzard game launcher and downloader). The problem is different on different browsers! I normally using Chrome which gives that error, Firefox gets there ok, but if I click on the "Login" or "Forums" buttons I see 'Connecting" in the top corner but nothing ever happens, Edge gets even further, it will open the Forums, and open an individual forum, but won't open a forum post. I have no clue what could be causing this but it's getting very annoying.

I have tried swapping ports on the router, cleared the browser cache and the dns cache all to no avail.

Any suggestion? Please.

Thanks
Ian

I wouldn't mind trying this but those instructions are out of date and don't seem to apply to Windows 10.

Thank you Schwatzz. Sorry I missed that your link also contained a Win10 version. I used that to switch to the Google dns yesterday and haven't had a problem since, it's only been 24 hours but it's looking good.
