R6020 Internet Setup 403 Error

My router decided to factory reset itself and I am attempting to add my DNS server back into it, but am getting 403 errors when trying to do anything on the Internet tab (even changine nothing and clicking apply). I have:

  • Factory reset the router
  • Restart my computer
  • Tried in Chrome Incognito
  • Rolled back frimware from V1.0.0.51 to V1.0.0.48
  • Factory reset the router again
  • Tried on Chome, Edge, and Firefox
  • Plugged in my laptop and tried Chrome, Edge, and Firefox

None of these steps have worked. Is there anything else that could work or is my router bricked?

  • So I unplugged my router from my battery backup ethernet protector and the 403 error went away.

      Ethernet port from wall. My landlord has whatever upstream and it leads out to Vast.
