That sounds more like a wifi repeater connection issue then a FF problem. And what site is this? The Browser can only connect when the wifi connects.

Thanks for bothering to reply. The problem I have is that the web address 192.168.1.1 is a site for setting up routers so it is very busy and FF times out after about 10 secs which I don't think is enough...I would prefer it to allow a bit more time to try to connect.

That IP is the internal IP of your router not a site. How are you connect to the router wired or wireless? Wireless connections are not recommend to be used when connecting directly to the router setup IP address.

Thanks for your reply. I have tried a wired connection and wireless to the repeater but as I say my problem is FF times out after a very short time when I try to go to the router site. The only thing I can think of now is try other browsers.

That sounds more like the wifi repeater is cause not the Browser.

Thanks again for commenting but even if I leave the repeater in the box FF continually times out when I try to connect so it's definitely down to FF.... endof.

So this computer what O/S is it running and can you do a direct wired connection to the router to verify if it is really FF or O/S issue?

Thank you for your persistance. I am using Win 10 1709 and as I said it is just the same either wired or wireless to the router.

If you haven't already, please do try other browsers such as Edge, Internet Explorer, or whatever non-Microsoft browsers you have installed.

If that doesn't work, please check with the manufacturer on whether the repeater might have a different address depending on the numbering scheme of your network, and how to discover it.

Another poster a week ago could not connect to the brand of router the poster had with it's default 192.168.1.254 IP it used. The poster in the end was able to connect to it's setting page after turning off and on the router.
