RBR850

After I go to login to my RBR850 router, I get a message on Edge browser stating the router is being managed locally from 192.168.1.39. And I get the question - Do I want to take control from that address or not?

BUT I cannot see this address on IP Scanner, Angry IP, nor Lizard Systems' Network Scanner.

Any ideas???

Re: RBR850

If you log into the router do you see anything at this address? 

Do you have a screensnip of the message?

Cant see anything at this address in the Devices on the Netgear router admin page nor the network scanners. 

Sorry, no screen shot, was just a one liner question in Edge browser. Nothing else on the page.

Makes me wonder if something was mistyped and was a phishing link or something. 

You don't get it anymore?

Re: RBR850

Don't get it anymore - logins are normal as before.

As I think about it, very well could have been a phishing link -  said something like click to take control.... yeah right!

Hope you didn't click on it!

I'd probably run a quick scan on the computer just in case

I would clear out all browser caches and saved PW profiles for the RBR as well.
