Windows 10: Edge not opening Printer or Router Menus on local home network

My setup is ASUS Router for Home with 4 computers.
Not sure when this happened but since using Windows 10 Ver 1809 (OS Build 17763.253)

I Can connect to the ASUS router main menu by Name in Edge, but not using its IP address of 192.168.50.1. Also now clicking on My HP Laser Multifunction icon or typing in its IP Address of 192.168.50.140 Edge fails to open the printer Web Menu. (Edge is the default browser)

Typing in the IP addresses in either IE or Chrome takes me right to the web pages.

My wife's laptop uses the same version of Windows 10 but does not have this problem as Edge goes right to the Web Pages

Any idea of why Edge should do this. (SFC/scannow with no errors)

Thanks

networking a printer

when networking a printer does it have to be connected to the router or can it be connected to a pc and be networked thru the pc?

 

router logs DoS attack from a local PC....

Well you did not say that you don't really know what you are doing. It's not a problem of course, but it changes things a little.

It's not even clear if the PC or the router is the problem at this time, so I suggested that you disable some unnecessary things which are usually known to cause many problems, sorry if those were too complicated.

• You could reset some network related stuffz on the PC as a next step. Open an elevated command prompt (run as administrator), and enter the followings on the PC:
  netsh int ip reset reset.log
  netsh int ipv6 reset
  netsh winsock reset
  netsh branchcache reset
  netsh advfirewall reset
  (note: You can export your current firewall rules in the "group policy" before the reset if it's needed for some reason)
  
  
• Btw, Would it be a problem to reset the router to the default settings if the things we are trying will not help? There is a menu point for that called "factory settings" (and also a little hole on the back if you prefer that one).. the Administrator username in the router after the reset would be admin and the password is probably on a sticker at the bottom of the router (special settings needed to go online with your ISP might be also necessary)
  This is not needed now (not yet), but perhaps the source of the problem is at the router and not the PC in question, so we may come to that eventually.

ps.: Do you have a second network card you could test in that PC and a different cable to rule out some hardware issues on the PC side?

 

Wireless printer does not show my Asus router 5g network

Hi Dan,

It is possible that this issue is caused by the incompatibility between your network/router and printer. To better assist you we would like to verify some information:

• Can your other devices detect the 5G network?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

Regards.
