Hello I cannot access www.routerlogin.net using Firefox, but on the same machine Chrome and Microsoft Edge can access it. On Firefox, www.routerlogin.net redirects to this page: https://w...

Additional steps taken:
Deleted all Firefox cookies and site data again then rebooted the computer
Updated router firmware to 1.2.0.76_1.0.1
Chrome now works
Firefox still redirects to the page listed above

Antinode,
Thank you! I read the link you provided. While I did not think that I had turned off my wifi like the poster said (I am able to access the router using Edge and Chrome), I did notice the alternate router address of 10.0.0.1 and this does work in Firefox, so problem solved.
Thanks again

Antinode:
One more thing the article mentioned is DNS over HTTPS so I found that setting in Firefox. It was checked so I unchecked it.
Firefox then connected using www.routerlogin.net, although there was an HTTPS not available warning. But I did get through.
I decided to leave DNA over HTTPS checked / enabled because that is how it was before and nothing else was broken, and I can use the 10.0.0.1 address in Firefox
Thanks again
Maurice

You can get that if the router (WAN/Internet port) is connected to
another router. Doing that can cause problems, by the way.> [...] DNS over HTTPS [...]
Yup. When they work, those "routerlogin" names have some benefits,
such as not needing to know if your router's at "192.168.0.1", or
"192.168.1.1", or "10.0.0.1", or whatever. But when they fail for some
reason, and those reasons are getting more common, they can cause much
confusion.
