And what happens when your *cough* "router" isn't actually on the

If there is no internet connection, you get a very limited page that's apparently only really good to get you back 
online.

Routers are sometimes used on networks that don't have internet connectivity [by design]. This seems amazingly short-sighted for a company that's been around selling routing gear as long as cisco.
