I’m using Google chrome. I haven’t tried the others because I think Google was recommended?

You don't have to use chrome. I don't.
Let us know if the other browsers show same issue.
Does this PC have a reserved IP address?
Wired or wireless connected PC?
- EQJunkySep 27, 2019GuideI tried Firefox and it wouldn’t log into the router at all. I tried Microsoft edge and it didn’t show my pc online just like google chrome. Attached via Ethernet cable. DHCP
- EQJunkySep 27, 2019GuideI’m noticing that the IP address for my switch that the PC is connected to says 192.168.1.5 in device settings but through the phone app the IP address says 192.168.1.10?? Maybe this is why the PC doesn’t show up because it’s connected through the switch? Any ideas how to fix this?

What happens if you connect the PC directly to the XR router?
