I'll venture a guess. My Westell 2100 modem displayed similar symptoms when
I upgraded versions of IE. Could get in but certain functions wouldn't work
like the switch to expert mode, for example. I discovered that the way they
programmed the modem's internal web server is simply not compatible with
the changed browser. There seems to be no firmware upgrade for my model
although yours, being newer, might be more fortunate. I get along by
keeping an old W2K computer operating as a server with an old IE version on
it in my basement and when the modem needs tweaked I do it through the server.

For the moment, the issue is resolved. I downloaded Firefox and through
that can access everything that I formerly could through Internet Explorer.

Thanks, gentlemen.
