Config restore, no gui?

[mannp]

Hi all

Been watching for a while, but its come a time that I need some help if i may.

I have openvpn fully setup and working, but was trying to setup the asus to work with my new virgin media superhub2 and needed to reset its config.

I'm trying to restore saved configs to the device again and they restore and reboot with my wifi ssid showing up, but I cannot access the gui.

Its driving me nuts so wondered if I was missing something?

Thanks
Paul.

You might have different webui settings. Try the usual default settings:

http://ip.of.the.router
https://ip.of.the.router:8443

To determine the router's IP, see what your computer's default gateway is (using "ipconfig" under Windows), in case it's no longer 192.168.1.1.

Thanks for the help.

I'm struggling because in the saved config the router is always sitting at 192.168.1.1

I'm connected to the asus solely through a wired connection into the lan port and can ping 192.168.1.1

I just cannot get the gui to show with any browser.

Try both URLs, in case you had disabled http and the router would only listen through https.

Otherwise, if you have either telnet or ssh enabled, you could connect in to check if the web server is running, and on which port.

ps w | grep http

Ok thanks for the pointers; if I recall I had ssh setup.

Ok, so ash with Certs allowed me in and yes http seems to be running.

Ifconfig show br0 at 192.168.1.1 with eth0,1,2 all without IP addresses set. Is that normal?

I am connected to the router via wifi as that was the only way I could ping the router and connect. Isolated from the Internet.

The LAN cable connection doesn't allow me to connect.

The LAN wired does give the MacBook an IP address and show default router as 192.168.1.1

Is it possible to change the routers IP address from the command line, so I can add it with the SH2, as it is at 192.168.1.1 on the main network.

eth1 and eth2 are the two wireless interfaces, bridged on br0, so that's normal for these to not have any IP.

If http is running and it doesn't mention using a different port, then I don't know why you cannot access the webui, unless you enabled the option to only allow connections from specific IPs and didn't properly configure which IP to allow in. In that case, disable that option over ssh:

nvram set http_client=0
nvram commit

Well, all I can say is I am slightly embarrassed.

As soon as I read about the IP restriction, I thought, yes I did do that

Your commands sorted me out and all is well again with openvpn still setup and working

Thanks for your help!
