R6230 - Won't grant access to login screen
Greetings. I've been reading through the community posts but really haven't seen the definitive answer for this. I have an AC1200 (R6230). I had a lot of grief even getting into it the first time...
Solved! I was haviing some electrical work done on my house and had to take my entire network down including my main router. When I brought everything back up I tried accessing the AP via IP Address that the router had assigned it and it worked like a charm - launch web browser, enter IP address, and taken directly to the AP login screen. Working now from any other computer on my network so despite the fact that I could see the AP in my routers device table and could ping it, somehow hitting it via http wasn't working until the router reboot. Anyway, if anyone else is having the same issue it might be worth rebooting your router/dhcp server.

Ah, that one.The old "restart" routine.
When you hit a brick wall like that, be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
Silly of me not to suggest it early on. The trouble is that the symptoms can be confusing.
