Hi all
Me and a mate both got the ASUS RT-AC87U and we both immediately installed the latest asuswrt-merlin. He set his up just fine and we also set mine up fine. A few days later I wanted to change the admin password for the web UI and after that it suddenly started showing the following screen in Chrome:
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-AC87U.
To access the settings of RT-AC87U, reconnect to the wireless network and use the updated IP address and port number.
I tried different browsers and also different devices but all of them immediately give a 404. The router itself however seems to keep working (wired, wifi) but just the web UI is completely broken. I tried restarting it and even that didn't work so I had no choice but to factory reset it.
Never thinking about the fact that it could be due to the password change I just set it up again. After having it completely set up I tried changing the password again and the exact same thing happened. Chrome shows that annoying page and all other devices/browsers simply give a 404.
I then asked my friend with the same router & firmware to try setting his password to 50 characters and his also broke down resulting in him being pissed of with me for breaking his router I was just glad to know that it is reproducible and that it indeed has something to do with the password change.
I tried googling it but didn't find anyone with the same problem so here I am. I am yet to confirm that the same issue is available when running the standard ASUS firmware but I already wanted to post this here to find out if this is known.
Thanks in advance!
