The wifimanager is what you get when you enter the router address, http://192.168.1.1 It's how you access the router settings.

 

That doesn't look right.

That address is the one you use to connect to the router setting after you have connected to the thing by wifi or Ethernet.

You will not get to the router settings if you have not already connected to its wifi.

This is explained in the manual:

"When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with a tethered connection), you can use a web browser to access the router to view or change its settings."

What you do is to connect to the wifi, and then aim a broiwser at http://192.168.1.1. Maybe you did that but didn't mention the earlier steps.

So, what is this wifimanager? It is not something that appears in the  manual for the MR1100.

A wifi manager is usually something that you use on you wifi client – a laptop, mobile device, something else – to establish a connection with the wifi source, in this case your MR1100.

So, I repeat, what is this wifi manager? How are you connecting to the MR1100.

I have read the manual several times. I'm not trying to use a teathered connection nor did I mention teathered so that point in the manual does not apply.  But, that doesn't work either like the manual says. But that's the not the issue I'm trying to resolve.

 

Sadly, I am not convinced. You may not be talking about a tethered connection (the spelling is important if you are searching the manual), but that does not mean that you don't have to take that into account. The whole point about troubleshooting is to try to rule things out, not just to ignore them because you don't think they matter.
