I could be mistaken about this, but I think Internet Connect can only
get the status of AirPort base stations, not third-party routers. My
snow Airport listens on TCP port 5009, and I suspect that Apple's
Airport Admin Utility as well as Internet Connect talk to the Airport
using TCP port 5009.

But, I could be wrong.

Sounds like a reasonable explanation, thanks.

Maybe, but now I'll stop worring about the missing status anyway. :-/
