OK, I will test that when I go back, but before that I want to gather more info -- eg.:<br />
&gt;&nbsp;Is it possible that the router software / webpage is the problem instead of the browser? <br />
&gt;&nbsp;If so, is one more likely that the other to be the culprit?

I just spent way too long trying to figure out why an hp wifi printer keeps going offline (for win7 laptop) whenever the printer is turned off and back on. My biggest obstacle was that I didn't realize til late that the router administration webpage for the XFinity router (Arris brand) was displaying incorrect information. E.g. many times it did not show the printer as attached, but I could ping the printer IP from Win7. Conversely, the webpage displayed the printer as attached when the printer was unplugged / off. Other times the webpage displayed the wrong IP for the printer. &nbsp;When I &quot;factory reset&quot; the router, I seemed to get accurate info from the router admin webpage, but after a while, the bad info issue returned. <br />
<br />
Is this a BROWSER issue? (Due to my browser showing me old copies of the webpage?) Or is it due to the ROUTER?

Why does router &quot;attached devices&quot; page show me old / wrong info?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
