Why does resetting your router reduce the DAZN not loading issues?
Think of all the devices that are and have been connected to the router. I’m sure that in today’s digital world that quite a few devices are connected to the router.
Your router is like a mini-PC and will slow down as more tasks are added.
Having all of those devices connected will reduce the bandwidth available and can prevent you from connecting to the DAZN network if a network conflict is apparent.

Old firmware or a partial firmware installation could cause the DAZN not to load.
