Called a "router" by whom, and where? Maybe help could better be forthcoming
if you announced its brand name and a model number. From the description so
far in this thread, yours seems to be one of those boxes that combine modem,
router, switch and firewall. Does it also provide wireless?
        I don't think so:  the little box on my desk is made by 
             Cisco.   Model number:  LinksysWUMC710

Different and new problem belongs in a virgin thread.
       <LOL>  One will be forthcoming tomorrow.

This too belongs in a separate thread, but I'll provide a seed for you to try
to fix on your own. This is from Jessie on a multiboot Dell that includes
Windows 10:

# grep ntfs /etc/fstab
/dev/sda6 /win/C ntfs-3g nofail,users,gid=100,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
     Already this doesn't work.  I put my /etc/fstab on a USB stick which has a VFAT file
     system on it, and my Windoze made a most satisfying chime when I stuck the stick
     into one of the sockets on my USB splitter.   I would give you the whole short text
     file if I could swipe my mouse over it.  But this is no go in Windoze, and I don't
     know how to Copy and Paste in the Windoze world.  So I'll just say here that my
     fstab simply enumerates the partitions I made when I installed.  Those are /dev/sda3,
     /dev/sda4, etc.  No mention of /dev/sda1, which is I believe called C: in the Windoze
     world.  I have my fstab, on E:, open as I write, but the wretched Notepad pays no
     attention to the Unix 'CR's !  !  Takes me back decades!<G>.  

     This is another failure of the installer failing to recognize that there is another OS
     on my hard drive.  There is a class of people on this E-list who seem to think that
     the Jessie installer couldn't possibly be expected to recognize a Windoze OS, especially
     since Windows 10 is "so new".  My reaction is: codswallop!

     Thanks for your helpful attempt, Felix.  Were your examples from a box with Windoze already
     on it?

Alan
