Problems login in to Asus RT-BE86U using Linux Mint

Hello everyone,

Can anyone tell me how I can login to my Asus RT-BE86U router using Linux Mint? I tried the IP address of the router in the address bar but that is not working.


Thanks

No issues logging into the router using either Firefox or Librewolf on Mint. Make sure your are on the local network/wifi of your router, and are able to hit the IP address of your router (should be 192.168.50.1 by default). What is your workstation's IP? What is your router's IP? Can you ping it from the workstation? Are you able to get to it from another computer/browser?

If you can, make sure you check your settings under Administration -> System -> Local access config, and make sure "http" and port 80 are both selected.

Thanks for the reply. I am using Firefox and have no problems getting on the internet. I can log in to the router using a windows computer but I cannot using the Mint.


Thanks

Problem solved. I was using the router's IP address to try and log in to the router but I now realized I had to use the IP address for the Default Route.

Many thanks
