Router: web admin console logs out for inactivity if you only interact with items on the same page, and don't navigate to a new page.

I've been logged out for inactivity from the router console while performing some of the following non-exhaustive list of actions on the main index page:

• Reviewing devices in the Client Status sidebar (after clicking the "Clients" button);
• Clicking the 'Refresh' button in the Client Status sidebar;
• Clicking through the 3 tabs in the Client Status sidebar;
• Examining device details from the Client Status sidebar;
• Sliding the buttons on and off in these device detail pop-overs;
• Examining the AiMesh node details (click AiMesh button, then click the AiMesh node in the sidebar);
• Clicking the "Security" button to examine the System status sidebar;
• Clicking the "Internet" button to examine the Internet Status sidebar;

I think the issue is with the logic of the page timeout. The Javascript needs to reset the inactivity timer if the admin is clicking on *something* within the same page.

The session timer is reset if you navigate to any other page (i.e.: AiMesh.asp, Advanced_LAN_Content.asp, GameBoost.asp).

I think the issue is with the logic of the page timeout.

I think you're correct because I was kicked out few times when playing with Manually Assigned IP addresses in DHCP Server page.

Has anyone else seen this behavior on their routers with AsusWRT Merlin? What about the stock firmware?

The same in stock Asuswrt.
