Can't access router's admin UI afterupdating from 1.3.1.26 to 1.3.1.44
Updated from 1.3.1.26 to 1.3.1.44 .. I did not reset / reboot .. just ran the update which said it should take 2 minutes .. 10 minutes later after the firmware update icon was still spinning I figure...

What real choice do you have?

Hiya antinode. Ya .. that's basically what I was thinking ... there's no other choice ... so I took a deep breath .. and rebooted it ...
Thankfully, the worst thing that happened is that I had to reset the master password, but everything else worked just fine.
I swear .. one day I'll build another iptables FW for my network. This shot-in-the-dark nonsense is too un-nerving.
