Unable to access settings

[mairuay]

I just wanted to connect to my RT-AC68U but i get this message:
"Settings have been updated. Web page will now refresh.
Changes have been made to the IP address or port number. You will now be disconnected from RT-AC68U.
To access the settings of RT-AC68U, reconnect to the wireless network and use the updated IP address and port number."

I reconnected, i rebooted, i did iprenew and so on but i still get this message and can't access the router anymore. Fortunately i still have access to the WAN.
But i have ssh access. Can i do a factory reset thru SSH or even a firmware update with ssh?

cheers

Sounds like the router's IP address has changed because it is not the DHCP controller - probably your DSL modem or whatever is doing that job, so go in the admin settings of that thing, check what devices are connected to it, identify your RT-AC68U based the MAC address on the label on the bottom of it or on the box it came with, and then just adjust your browser to go to the same port but with the corrected IP address.

Otherwise you changed the port, but that is less likely.

Just either reboot the router, or restart the httpd server (assuming it's just crashed and not misconfigured).

service restart_httpd

what a shame. i mixed up the LED Off button with the reset button
I works now again.

There was another thread on this - what I determined in my case was that each time the router restarted (or perhaps httpd itself) the keys changed. At the end of this thread (post #30) I outline the steps I took to keep using the same certificates/keys between restarts.
