WNDR 4500v2 Randomly Stops Accepting Login Attempts
I currently have a WNDR4500v2 set up in AP mode and everything is working fine. After about 2 weeks, I noticed my network speed has dropped significantly. I found that the issue is from the WNDR450...
Well, I finally had a chance to reflash about 2 weeks ago. So far everything is working well. There's been no slowdown or unable to log in issues. I guess reflashing helped me in this case.
Hello youni
Welcome to the community!
It's always best to have a static IP address on the router once you have configured it in AP mode.
One possible reason why it's unreachable is that it may need software update.
The behavior that it is showing right now is pretty odd. You can ping but you cannot access through a web browser. Have you tried using a different browser?
I would suggest to upgrade the firmware or if it already has the latest one just reflash it by re-uploading then reset the unit. Once you have reset, you will then reconfigure once again the unit to the way it was then that should fix it.
I believe I have entered a static ip address in the WNDR4500v2. I also have allocated the same ip address to be used by the WNDR4500v2 on my modem with dhcp. I have tried to log in using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge, all giving the same result as before. I get a page stating unable to connect to the WNDR4500v2.
I do have the latest firmware so I will try reflashing it and then resetting the unit. As I am currently away from home for a while, I will have to report back later if it worked.
If this is an issue that can't really be solved, then I might need to look for a replacement for the WNDR4500v2.
Let us know any update once you have reflashed it.
