Hi All,
After nearly 9 years of (mostly) trouble free service my RT-AC88U has decided that I can no longer be trusted to login and is refusing the admin credentials that I have been using since installing the router all those years ago. It neither accepts my credentials or the default "admin/admin" credentials. Neither the phone app or web interface accept the credentials, further I had setup ssh login access but that just says "connection refused" and does not even prompt for a login.
No other settings seem to have been lost as both 2.4 and 5 Ghz wi-fi networks are fine, as are the physical ports and port-forwarding customizations I have made.
My research indicates that the only resolution would be a factory reset and configure again from scratch, so I'm pretty much resigned to that, but was just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same or similar and any thoughts on possible causes?
Cheers,
Ray.
