Can only access router through IE
How come I can only access routerlogin.net from internet explorer? I cannot access it through any other browser. If Big Daddy MS is phasing out IE then eventually I won't be able to access my router ...
Sorry for the lack of info. Not an IT person so a simple solution is needed. I can only access through IE and I've tried Chrome, Edge & Firefox. Same message (or similar) on each on:
"This page isn’t working
routerlogin.net sent an invalid response."
But no problems at all through IE.
Thanks, Mike

That still works here. But browser makers are working hard to make their software "more secure", which can put obstacles in the way of users.
The solution is with the browse rather than the router. There may be something you can tweak in the browser.
One way around this is to track down the local IP address of your router. Unless something is abnormal this is usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
Put that into your browsers and see what you get.

Thanks for the suggestion. 192.168.0.1 works only on IE for some reason and get "This page isn't working" on Chrome & Edge. Not a big deal right now until MS phases out IE, but not sure what to do then.
Any other fixes?

I have never seen a "This page isn't working" message, usually something more cryptic. And I don't see Chrome and Edge throwing the same messages. Perhaps there is a more diagnostic prompt in there somewhere.
Try the security settings on whatever it is that you run the browser on. I use Chrome, Firefox and different flavours of Edge. They all work.
It almost certainly isn't the modem/router that does this to you, so this may not be the best place to fix problems with whatever gets in your way.
Thanks for the info. I've done numerous online searches for a solution and nothing has worked yet. Being I am not a guru is probably part of the problem for sure. This won't be a show stopper until MS stops supporting IE then I'll have no way of accessing the router. Hopefully that won't be for a few more years at least.
