Eek, have you installed any of the Jack Yaz scripts? The one you could use is the scMerlin to restart the Web Interface (httpd).
If you have those scripts installed, are they all up to date (even the ones that don't list in the latest v2.1 amtm)?
Your issue may be something else, but I don't believe it's the disabled radio. It
may be from an older Jack Yaz script though.
Hi, L&LD.
No scripts other than Diversion and Skynet installed (via amtm), and they're both updated.
On the two instances that the issue occurred, I used "service restart_httpd" to "fix" it. But, like I said, that had never happened before in almost 5 years of using Asus routers with Merlin's firmware. My new AC86U ran without issues for about two weeks.
I mentioned disabling the 5G radio because it was one of the few settings that I changed manually after that period and almost immediately before I lost access to the router's GUI (which only happened after closing the browser tab). This is what I did:
Under LAN > DHCP Server, the default gateway and both DNS servers fields were blank. And even though everything was working fine (I had already uninstalled Stubby at that point), I decided to type in the relevant information. Hit apply, everything loaded up fine. Following that, I also disabled the 5G radio. Again hit apply and, once more, the GUI loaded correctly.
Closed that tab, continued browsing the web, and minutes later, when trying to access the GUI again, it got stuck in an infinite loading loop, without actually loading the page. I panicked, thinking the same thing that had happened to my AC87U was happening again, but after a reboot through PuTTY, it was back to normal. So I changed back the gateway and DNS servers fields to what they were - blank. I kept the 5G radio disabled, however, thinking it probably had nothing to do with the login issue.
About 24 hours later, I had the same issue. This time, I found the thread I mentioned earlier and used the "service restart_httpd" command to gain access to the GUI via web browser, but only today, so it hasn't been 24 hours yet since the last restart.
