Using ethernet, when I route my modem directly to my computer all is well. When I route my modem to my Netgear router, then to my computer it works 95% of the time but I frequently get "Your interne...

The only positive outcome of my having the misfortune of dealing with you yesterday and today regarding my router problems is that I am now assured that someone, you, must be having a worse time with life right now than I am. I have never corresponded with someone that presents themselves as wanting to help others that have less knowledge in a given area who was more arrogant, self-gratifying and pompous than yourself. If I knew how to properly articulate my problems to your satisfaction then I probably would not need you which on retrospect would have been preferable. If you are part of a "community" I was in, I would move. While you might know a great deal about routers, networking and the like, you are woefully lacking in any type of people skills. I wish you the best and can only imagine how you must justify everything that happens to you as being caused by the shortcomings of others. Have a nice life. :)

Is your (unspecified) "my mobile phone" connected (wirelessly) to
your router? What is its IP address? To (simply) manage your router,
you need a direct connection to the router, not a cellular data
connection to the Internet.

Again, a clear description of what _does_ happen would be more useful

Are you looking at chapter 2 in the User Manual, "Connect to the
Network and Access the Router"? In particular, "Use a Web Browser to
Access the Router"?

I don't know what that means. With my weak psychic powers, I can't
see what you're doing.

"any site"? How about "routerlogin.net" or "http://192.168.1.1"?
At least one of those should work even if the router is not connected to
your modem.

Don't care. What is its IP address when it's connected to the
_router_?

Ah. If you can find any page with your user name on it, then
clicking on it should get you to a page which includes "LATEST POSTS
BY", which should have links to your stuff. Or, in this case:
