Hi. If I try to log into the admin account on the TG582n router when dsl is down, the login isn't accepted. Instead, I just get empty edit boxes again, and NO message saying "invalid username or password". A look online give ma a YouTube video of the same thing happening. When DSL is up, it works OK. If I deliberately drop the connection while already logged in, I can view other pages as usual. Also, when browsing and DSL drops, I used to get the admin login screen when I clicked a link. If I try Internet Explorer instead of FireFox, I can log in normally regardless of DSL is down or not. Same login problem happens on two old laptops as well. Is this a router fault, firefox fault or both? In IE, if DSL is down and I try a website, it still doesn't bring up the login page but instead says "this page is unavailable" (or something like that).

FireFox 56.0.1 64-bit
IE 11.0.9600.18816
On my desktop PC, I'm running Windows 7. On the laptops it was XP, so I rarely use them on the net these days. They are actually netbooks, so very very slow!

Bring your DSL link up, then get to the admin page. From there disable @"Web browsing interception"
That should (hopefully) fix the problem.

Thanks, I just tried it and it worked. Presumably then, FireFox in it's latest version is doing something that screws up the "interception", whereas IE doesn't? I presume this means that if DSL drops out while browsing, I won't get the login page appearing as it used to? It wasn't much use anyway - you just had to wait for it to automatically connect again.
