Chrashed the Web GUI permantly?

[Thagor]

ok I thought I could boost my wifi over the 100% and probably did something stupid. I connected to the router via ssh and set wl_txpower to 500 and then rebooted via the Web GUI. I still have access to the device via SSH but when i try to connect via the web GUI I get the page that says:

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-AC56U.
To access the settings of RT-AC56U, reconnect to the wireless network and use the updated IP address and port number.

Is there any other way than to reset the device to restore my access to the web GUI?

thx in advance!

To reset to factory default, depress reset back on back of router until power light flashes..

thank you! But is there a possibility to do it without a factory reset? I still have access via SSH and I now cleared the firefox cache, so I no longer get the "settings have been update" message.

what does this show?

ps -ef | grep http

that should show a port. if nothing, try this:

httpd -s -p 8443

and then try to connect like this:

https://192.168.1.1:8443

sub your routers ip.

I get
573 admin 3420 S httpd -s -p 8443

but if I try to connect I get a "connection was reset" error

Your tx power update shouldnt have caused these issues. You can try to debug it but it may be easier to just download the nvram backup/restore tool, backup your settings, reset the router, restore yiur settings.

httpd uses the current work directory to serve pages. Before manually running it, you must change to the /www directory.

cd /www
httpd -s -p 8443

to wrap it up here is what I did.
used the nvram save and restore utility: www.snbforums.com/threads/user-nvram-save-restore-utility-r19.19521/
factory reset the device. restored the nvram from the dump.

thx for all the help!
