    Dear Michael

     

    You were right about it being a browser issue with my netgear router.

    I actually have 3 users on this computer, an admin, mine and my wife's.

    All this time I have been trying to solve this problem on just mine.

    Well just this morning i got the thought to try to get the router's admin page

    from both the admin and my wife's users accounts using the www.routerlogin.net

    address name,     it worked under both users.

     

    Well on the Admin user, I started by looking in OPTIONS. then in GENERAL

    scrolled all the way down to NETWORK SETTINGS.clicked on SETTINGS.

    Then scrolled down to the bottom to Enable DNS over HTTPS was NOT checked.

     

    I vaguely remember seeing this being checked under my user account, so I

    switched users over to mine and went to Enable DNS over HTTPS and sure enough

    it was checked. I then cleared it and then clicked SAVE. Next went and tried the

    routerlogin.net   IT WORKED!!  Do you have any idea as why having

    Enable DNS over HTTPS checked blocks the routerlogin.net causing to receive the

    infamously bad NETGEAR error message?
