FVS114 Router Login Took Too Long to Respond
When I attempt to login to the FVS114, I get the error message "www.routerlogin.com took too long to respond".
I have removed/re-inserted power and tried to login (nothing), did a hard factory reset and tried to login (nothing), cleared Win Edge browser cache (nothing), switched Edge to IE mode (nothing).
I have used a different ethernet cable for FVS114 to computer & gateway (nothing).
Am I to the point of accepting this device is pooched and I have to move on?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks, Kym.

Instead of depending on router login.com, give the effective LAN IPv4 address a try.
Thanks for the feedback. Same result, "takes too long to respond".
FVS114 TLS/SSL is too old and would be rejected by Chrome and Edge. If you have old Windows 7 PC, it may be able to access FVS114 GUI, Firefox used to be more lenient to outdated SSL/TLS versions, not sure if it still allows ancient deprecated TLS version.
Your best bet is to find equally ancient laptop to access it. Or try http (not https) to see if GUI supports http.
Firefox used to be more lenient to outdated SSL/TLS versions, not sure if it still allows ancient deprecated TLS version.
With Firefox, set security.tls.version.min to 1 (browse to about:config and search for the setting).
But outdated TLS would result in an error message (not a timeout), so I doubt that is the issue here.
Thanks again for the feedback.
Loaded up Firefox, allowed older TLS versions, some success. I can get the start up screen, detects DHCP and it will progress a little after that, but end up with similar error (takes too long). I will try an older computer when I get some time.
Thanks.
