1. did you try a different browser?
2. you state you updated firmware. Which firmware did you update if you couldn't tell me model number? and how did you update if you can't access the device?
3. You state you don't have an ethernet port on any of your devices. They make usb-ethernet adapters or you can borrow a computer for a short period.

More details help us understand whats going on and what you've done.
