The connection has timed out

I'm trying to access a website I started building but I continually get "The connection has timed out". I've tried several browsers - same issue. I cam access the site via mobile data on my phone so it's definitely a problem with the WiFi. I restarted my router but that made no difference. I contacted the website hosting company for advice and they said:

"Since you can access the website via mobile data, you most likely have a local network cache issue. The cache on your local network is usually cleared out automatically once every few days, however, your ISP should also be able to flush it manually.
To sort this out, you can try to restart your router or, if you can reach out to your ISP and request they manually clear out the cache."

So here I am! Has anyone else had to do this? Any other ideas on how to fix it? Thanks in advance 🙂
