"cannot" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what
you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.
I used to be able to see all the connections on my PC and be able to mange them. Now all that is available is the downloaded app?? why has this altered?

did then any better than I can see what you're doing now.> [...] Now all that is available is the downloaded app?? [...]
Says who? Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model
number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least).
Read. Look for "Use a Web Browser to Access the Router". Further
reading might not hurt, either.> [...] why has this altered?
I see no evidence that anything has changed, only a bunch of vague
assertions that some invisible thing doesn't work in some unspecified
way. Hence the requests for some actual information. Which part of
"not a useful problem description" or "actual" did you find unclear?that's my problem my web browsers will not access the router.
