No Access to WebGUI

[meat]

I made the mistake of enabling HTTPS authentication on an Asus RT-AC68U running Merlin's 3.0.0.4_378.50_0. Now, I cannot access the webGUI having tried
https://IP:8443 amonst other permutations. Have re-powered the router and computer, tried several different browsers (also clearing caches), and also tried from a second computer. All connections are hardwired via a switch.

The router is working fine, and I can even log onto the command line by using the IP address.

There are some other threads on this topic, but what I found seems to entail the nuclear approach of resetting and applying new settings. Is there any command I can use to change the authentication back to HTTP? What is causing the issue in the first place?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks very much! That did the trick.

I realized as well after doing a tracert from my computer's command line that there is a host name for the router. So https://router.asus.com:8443 also works.

By the way RMerlin, is there a summary somewhere of the router command line commands that can be used?

No. It's an actual complete operating system, so documenting these commands would fill up a whole book.
