Asus BE88U login page inaccessible unless I reboot it

[Sash2025]

On latest firmware but I think I am having this issue the last two firmware versions.

I cant access the login page of the router on https://192.168.0.1:8443/Main_Login.asp or https://192.168.0.1 after a while.
The internet is working fine to the same PC. PC connected via Cat 6 cable to router.
Same with the Asus app on mobile or any other device.

Issue fixes temporarily when I reboot the router.

Tried from another laptop(wifi)

https://192.168.0.1:8443/Main_Login.asp or https://192.168.0.1

Which is it? The gui will listen on https on one port. Unless you meant http (port 80) for the second URL.

Either one doesn't work. I only mentioned https://192.168.0.1 as I tried it and it didnt work.
After reboot the https://192.168.0.1:8443/Main_Login.asp works but after a day or two it doesnt.
Sorry cant be sure after how long. Need to check that. Rebooting is a pain.

Try: https://www.asusrouter.com:8443

No unfortunately this did not work either

Might need to set up static IP on the computer and then try.
Something like 192.168.0.3 and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet, you can put the routers IP address 192.168.0.1 in for the gateway.

Yes I do that for all my devices. Very obsessive that way. Every device I have is named and added a specific IP.

What happens if you use the default LAN IP 192.168.50.1 with IP range starting with 192.168.50.2

50.1 with IP range starting with 192.168.50.2

 

[KevTech]

I meant to go change the router LAN IP and DHCP range back to the defaults then see what happens.

Um I am not rebooting it now as I know that action itself brings it back. Even if I was willing to do what you ask would that not reset everything?

I would try in SSH:

service restart_httpd

No information on what else is running on your router. Something may be killing httpd.

Same with the Asus app on mobile

ASUS App may be connecting to a router running Asuswrt-Merlin firmware, but it's officially unsupported and you have to be careful what options you change there because they may break your Asuswrt-Merlin configuration.

Nothing new. I have IOT, 2.4 and 5G. Frankly under utilising it. No storage attached to usb etc.
The Asus app has worked all the time until this issue started and now only when this issue comes up. Once I reboot it will work from all devices including the app.
Only reason I didn't report it before as I rarely need to make any changes these days and was kinda thinking it would be fixed noting others would have had something similar.

btw how do I do this? I am not well versed with this


SSH:

service restart_httpd

Update: Chatgpt said
try in cmd so I did

ssh [email protected] "service restart_httpd"
ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.1 port 22: Connection refused

Chatgpt says SSH not enabled on your router

Almost sounds like there's a second dhcp server on your network.
If you have an android device install Port Authority. Scan your network for devices then, if found, scan the well known ports on your router.

Are you sure of the name "Port Authority"? I am on Samsung Galaxy 24 and cant find anything with that name in play store.

Still could not find it. Googled it on the phone and got this in browser. Apparently isnt available for my device since built for older version of Android.
