Interesting problem connecting to routerlogin.net

Hi,

I have a RAX54 and I'm able to get it setup and configured but I run into a weird problem where I can no longer access the routerlogin.net page after I've completed the setup and make a few updates. The changes that I make are:

1) switch the network to use 10.x instead of 192.x.

2) configure about 6-7 devices with static LAN addresses.

3) update the SSID names and passwords.

4) configure port forwarding and port triggering on a few items (for Fios).

 

After I make those changes and I get connected to the Internet, I can no longer access routerlogin.net, routerlogin.com or the IP address of the router.  For all, I get connection reset.  If I use curl, I see this error:

 

curl -I https://10.0.0.1/start.htm
curl: (28) SSL/TLS connection timeout

 

To 'fix' it, I can shutdown the router, unplug the internet cable, turn the router back on and I can access the UI again.  Once I plug the internet cable back in, then it's accessible again.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions for what might be interfering with accessing the start page?

  • I should have also mentioned that I don't have any firewall blocking.  I see the same behavior on my linux machine, desktop, laptop, etc.

  • What modem/gateway is it connected to? 

    Are the devices directly connected to it or running through a switch/another router?

      It's just connected directly to the Fios ONT ethernet port.  I had ethernet from ONT -> wire -> router -> wire -> PC.  No other switches involved (during set up).  Eventually, I am hoping to connect everything else up.

        What fios ont is it? 

        What happens if you leave the ip address on the 192 address?
