Unable to access any of the setting within the router

[jnelsoninjax]

This is an odd one. Going to 192.168.1.1 which is the address for accessing the router, I am able to login, but when I attempt to go to the connectivity settings, or the WiFi settings, I get a infinite waiting loading screen, and it never goes past that point. I have power cycled the router and it still will not allow me in to these areas. I have tried via FF and Edge. The router is a Linksys EA3800. At this point, I have no idea what to do next.

Are you running any browser extensions, like NoScript?

 

Have you tried doing a factory reset?

 I was using Edge without any extensions running. I may have to do a factory reset, could it have anything to do with the PoE switch connected? I guess I should ask @BudMan

Id doubt that, but.. Do a factory reset, if that doesn't work, RMA or get a new one.

I was able to gain access via Linksys app on the cell phone, and there was a firmware update, so that may have resolved the issue.

Yeah, that could be.

 

Linksys? I would put DDwrt on there...

Not sure about ddwrt on that specific model - but openwrt is support it seems

Oh, it wasn't? OK then.

I am not sure - didn't come up with simple google.  But openwrt works just as well - some say better than ddwrt You could most likely string together some random gibberish and call it code and load it up and it would be better than the native firmware of most soho routers
