N150 WNR1000v3 router status not displaying
Got a feeling that my new ISP is running its clocks a bit different to mine, so thought I'd check bandwidth usage. Logged into the router, managed to find router staus and others in advanced options, but selecting them gives me nothing. Advanced setup also just returns a blank page, so I can't tell if anything matches what is in the user manual, which itself is a bit low on advice.
Elaine,
Problem solved. Found an old post regarding Adblock Plus being the culprit in some other Netgear [Nighthawk?], routers. Added the router login domain to my Adblock whitelist and whilst I still do not have a maintenance button in my basic menu, all options are now accessible through the advanced menu. Is there any way of digging deeper into the traffic statistics? The problem with my ISP's statistics [not necessarily intentional], is that some large W10 updates I definitely downloaded in off-peak time appear to have been recorded during peak time, and it would be great to be able to check actual hourly statistics on a daily basis.
Regards,

Hi Slateybear
Welcome to the community!
I suggest that you try to factory reset the router then reconfigure it.
If it does the same thing, upgrade the firmware of the router. However, if you already have the latest firmware installed reflash it by downloading the latest firmware available.
After uploading the firmware, reset and reconfigure again the router then see if you'll now be able to view the page correctly.
Elaine,
Factory reset and configuration done twice in the last two months, once because wi-fi would not work, latest for our new satellite connection. Firmware is up to date, but I downloaded it again and that is as far as I can get. I do not have a maintenance button anywhere that I can find. The 'Home Basic' menu has 5 tabs for Internet, Wireless, Attached Devices, Parental Controls and Guest Network, and the sixth tab is just grey. However, in the advanced menu [again no maintenance tab], under 'administration', is a 'router update' tab, but as previously explained, selecting this only displays a blank page, same as with all the options in the advanced menu. For some options, but not all, I do get a brief twirl of dots as if a page is trying to load, but then nothing.
