Changed router yesterday to new Netgear Nighthawk AX 8 Stream Ax6000 Wifi Router.  Everything worked fine. afterwards yesterday This am computer smart SDR won't log in.  Can with iphone and pad at home but no remote here at office.  Changed because of random shut down of SDR  on computer while using radio...that was a chore running dx station and bam....disconnect......new router seemed to solve that but this am no joy

I solved a similar problem like this for a friend of mine just recently.  It sounds like your router has a feature called DMZ turned on and it may have decided that the radio is not able to see other computers in your network.  You will have to turn that off.

Also, make sure you Firewall on your PC is not blocking communications to your clients on your network.  It needs to be turned off for Local connections.  This will also prevent the PC from seeing the radio.  

Microsoft patches have a very bad habit of turning the firewall back on.
