I was reading this thread and just out of curiosity, I typed"about:config" in
my Firefox and searched for my routers ip address. It returned a long line of data that I
had to copy and paste in a text editor to read.
The beginning of the line read: "capability.policy.maonoscript.sites" followed
by a long list of domain names, some I knew I had visited, some I didn't. Not knowing
what "capability.policy.maonoscript.sites" meant, I did a web search on that. It
is a No Script-Whitelist.
So, what I am wondering is, do you use an add on in you browser that may have black
listed your routers ip address?. A real long shot I know...

An interesting thought, "uMatrix"
would seem a possibility, I often have
deal with that, but it gives notification that it is blocking a site ...
I also tried Google Chrome which I have added nothing to, it fails with
a similar message.
I've wasted a lot of time with this old router/bridge and I am about
convinced it has died. It's supposed to have a dhcp server built in, I
haven't seen anything from that, I even gave its MAC address a static
address on my LAN on my main router, it never responds to anything I
have tried.
I used it for a long time, perhaps 8 years and it was working several
weeks ago, but not now. Ithink it's finished.
However it has kept me busy for a few days, more interesting than
working crossword puzzles.
Thanks,
Bob
