Cannot access XR700 login on PC, or iPad or iPhone other than Firefox on iPad and iPhone

So the only way I can access the routers setup page is via an iPad or iPhone with Firefox. If try any other browser on iPad or iPhone I get asked to enter password trice then say invalid password, (Safari and Chrome). When trying from PC cannot find router, (although can access internet fine through it). and cannot ping it either. Also, R-Apps are no longer loading, (although did when first booted up). On firmeware 1.0.1.20. Is this a firmware issue or overheating? Port is 192.168.0.1 and has a Vodaphone router/modem plugged in for modem. Would try downgrading firmware, but as can only access from iOS cannot do this.

Model: XR700|Nighthawk Pro Gaming Router

How are you accessing via the PC - HTTP or HTTPS? Routerlogin.net or LAN IP? Is there any difference between these methods and the result you get?

When connected to the router via ethernet can you open a command prompt and then type ipconfig and then press enter and post a screenshot of the results here please?

Have you disabled DHCP on the router by any chance or are you using static settings on the PC network card as (preferred) suggests you might be.

DHCP server on on router, and dynamic on network card. All the devices can access the internet, just PCs not able to access router home page.

Factory reset the XR router. Press the back reset button for 15 seconds then release. Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the router. Clear ALL browser caches before accessing the routers web page. Can you access the routers web page at 192.168.1.1 using FF or Opera?

Ok, looks like a PC issue. Reset and working ok on a different PC and a Mac. So must be some firewall or related issue on this PC. Still having issue, on all machines, of R-Apps only working on fresh boot of the XR700, then stopping later on. Known overheating or firmware issue?

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

 

What browser are you using? Happens in FF or Opera? 

Be sure to clear out all browser caches before entering into the routers web page. 

 

I thought this recent version of FW was supposed to fix this...

It may be the Windows Firewall itself so try disabling/putting through an exception for the interface address. In System Information on the R-App panel options change the number of retry attempts to 5 and then reboot. Does that help at all?

What about the firewall/Anti-virus, do you have any of those running?
