When I changed my PC's LAN hardware – the motherboard port died – the desktop genie would not log in.
The only way to gain access is to Enter router's IP address manually.
I then have to replace the address in the genie – 54.69.75.161 – with the local address.
The login process then seems to stall. Eventually, after clicking around with various tabs, it lands in the right place.
Oh, the browser also refuses to use the usual access addresses and I have to use the IP address.
I don't know if this is a genie issue or a local thing.
