ac3200 x6-Tried "use https when accessing router in setup" address bar crazy looping

Tried "use https when accessing router in setup" address bar crazy looping. Had updated to currrent firmware all good. I can't access the router now as when I try, it just keeps fast looping. Router still seems to be working-checked multiple devices-wifi-ethernet, etc... Tried unplugging for awhile...still loops.

    Can you access the router using HTTP://192.168.1.1

    Be sure to clear out all browser caches. 

    Try a different browser...MS Edge, Firefox or Opera.

      First, thank you very much for the reply. 

       

      I tried accessing through just http and that's the loop. I havent tried https as it was adding that opiton that th router started looping and not letting me into any part of the router. 

       

      I haven't tried using another broweser...dah, should have thought of that. I will give it a try and report back - hopefully with success!

       

      Thanks again.

        Try a different PC if possible.

        Might try a factory reset as a last resort as well.
