R7900P - Unable to access admin page after firmware update
Hi all! Happened a while ago. Last I recall, I updated to the latest firmware and can no longer access the admin page via the app or routerlogin.net. I get a connection timeout from the webpage ...

What FW version was applied?
Be sure to clear out any browser caches.
Try a different web browser.
Try 192.168.1.1 to access the routers web page.
You may need to reset the router and set up from scratch. Press the reset button in back for 15 seconds then release. Give 2 minutes then setup with a web browser:

Thanks for the reply!
Since I am no longer able to verify, I assume it is the latest available one: 1.4.4.94
I have tried different browsers on multiple devices and in incognito mode trying both routerlogin and 192.168.1.1
From my understanding, resetting the router does not make any changes to the firmware. I don't know if I want to take the chance to reset it and not be able to access the admin page to set everything back up since it is currently working.

Can try inputting a password 3 times then you should get a recovery PW screen using a browser.
If this fails, you'll need to factory reset the router and setup from scratch.

Currently, the page just times out so no login prompts appear.
