RT-AC87U ERR_TIMED_OUT accessing router's webui

[Magissia]

Greetings, I have a timed out issue when trying to access router's webui on a RT-AC87U, when unauthenticated the login page loads instantly, once authentificated the home screen appears with minimal content, the right pane with graphs says "timed out", from then, any webui connection leads to a timed out error, even on other computers that were not authentification yet, until router's reboot.

When this problem happen, the SSH still works perfectly.

When trying to use Internet Explorer instead of Chrome, after clicking that I want to continue anyway even if the selfsigned cert can not be verified, an IE's popup appears and tell me the website wants to close the window. If I click yes, Internet Explorer closes, if I click no the page doesn't load.

The router is set to serve the Webui from https. I can try to revert to http if someone gives me the associated nvram values to modify.

I was able to reproduce the problem on Netgear R7000's fork of this project.

Using version 380.63, can gladly upgrade firmware if given commandline direction to do it from SSH.

When you access the router are you connecting via name or IP? Any error in the system log under /tmp/syslog.log?

To disable https from telnet or ssh, use these commands:

nvram set http_enable=0
nvram commit
service restart_httpd

Make sure to check the settings after successful login through http and Save them again.
Just remember to not expose the WebUI to the WAN.

It seems like my problem comes from the local proxy being too slow to analyse the traffic, but happens only when connecting to the router for reasons I ignore. Ball on Kaspersky 's side now.
