Login to routers behind ac86u

[beardhunter]

Hi

I’m a new Merlin user just moved from dd-wrt

On my old router (dd-wrt) i could connect to the router(Huawei 4g) behind my dd-wrt router . The one that provides the internet through wan on the dd-wrt router. This was done by typing 192.168.8.1 (default for Huawei routers) in a browser.

On Merlin firmware i can’t Seem to connect to the Huawei router?

I did try to turn the firewall of in Merlin with no luck.

As the Merlin interface is new for me, i have no clue which setting that needs to be changed to get backwards access to the router attached to wan ?

Also my general knowledge about routing is obvious somewhat limited.

Can someone tell me which setting i’ve missed?

I found the “problem”

Turning off dual wan solved this issue

Okay, after messing around some more, I´ve found out that disabling dual wan, does not always solve the problem. If i disconnect and reconnect the LAN cable from my isp router, I can connect in a short period of time.
Another "bug" is, if i make 2-3 changes in the ac86u´s settings in a row, the led´s which i have turned off, will turn on.
Updating the firmware to newest Beta 384.12_beta1-g69e0eaefe1 does not solve these issues..

After updating the firmware to the level you wanted, did you ever do a full reset to factory defaults? Immediately followed by a minimal and manual configuration to secure the router and connect to your ISP?

If you haven't done that recently, the M&M Config guide in my signature below is suggested to get your router to a good/known state.
