Merlin 386.7_2 on RT-AX68U lost access to web interface

[Grundor]

I've been facing some random disconnects on an online game, so I decided to test merlin for a while, 2 months so far.

Tonight I got the same issue in the disconnecting, when I tried to access the web UI to my surprise the web UI was down. I do not remember the last time I accessed it, but maybe 1 or 2 days ago.

The router.asus.com was unreachable, and the 192.168.50.1 as well, I was able to access barely the https://192.168.50.1:8443 but it didn't load the interface properly after login (side menu etc).


I tried the ssh interface, connected, and tried a reboot command, but nothing happened, same for the command service restart_httpd


The only access I got atm is by ssh interface, there are any way to recover it ?

obvious question: have you tried to disconnect the power plug from the router, wait a few minutes and reconnect the power?

Yeah, so obvious that I omitted it from the original post lol.

I did the router is working, but looks like something on HTTP server crashed

Log into SSH and apply the following command

service restart_httpd

See if that will sort this issue.

I had problem accessing web UI, but only after some time had passed after reboot.

RT-AC68U problem with DHCP?
