Cannot see routers homepage.

Also, be sure to enable popups on your browser when you try to access the router.

Thanks for those suggestions,

Popups allowed - no difference.
Cache and cookies deleted - no difference.
IP of Win7 machine is 100
IP of XP laptop is 101

Woody, I have no fix to your issue, I just want to tell you I had an old Siemens router years back. It had some weird security setting, letting only one MAC-address to enter setup. This was always the first computer to enter setup i.e. if I wanted to change the computer to use to administrate the router, I had to restore factory settings, then login with the computer I wanted to use to give the ISP credentials again and setup the router.

After that, only this computer used to login to setup first time after factory recovery could log in. I do not know Linksys devices. I just have this feeling it must not be an error, it can be a weird setting.

Can you see the XP machine on your Networks under W7? Can you ping the router?

oneextraid · 19 Oct 2009

When you access your router are you entering 192.168.1.1? No HTTP prefix or anything after it?

Woody · 19 Oct 2009

Correct, I just enter 192.168.1.1 this pops up the username and password box, I enter the details and it loads the page - it just doesn't show it.

I can ping the router without any issues.

Even my phones browser can access the homepage!

So the page is completely blank after you enter your ID and password?

When you get the blank page. Go to your browser menu and select view, page source to confirm that some form of HTML is there.

Try in Opera with style set to user mode.

View | style | user mode

Any luck?

Installed Opera, which incidentaly my phone uses and can access the routers homepage.

I changed that setting to User Mode but unfortunately I still cannot see it.

Worth a go though!
