WNDR4500v2
2 TopicsN900 (WNDR4500v2) Web Administration not accessible
Hello, Overnight, the router's Web administration server became inaccessible: the port 80 was closed, but everything else was still functioning properly (Wi-Fi, local connectivity and Internet, etc.). I had to change the configuration of the router so I tried a simple factory reset: the configuration of the router had been successfully reset, but I still do not have access to the administration Web interface. The router is now unusable since I cannot modify the configuration, and I can only use the router with the default configuration. I tried several techniques without success: factory reset, hard reset (30/30/30), TFTP (on Windows and Linux), connection by all LAN ports or by Wi-Fi, Netgear Genie, etc. Here is a nmap scan with all opened ports on the router: Host is up (0.0028s latency).

I saw another person with the same problem but there is no solution: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2988795/netgear-wndr4500v2-wireless-router-issues.html What can I do? Is the bug known? Thank you. EDIT: OK, just found this thead: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Wireless-N-Routers/WNDR4500v2-Router-Recovery-Using-UART-Serial-Converter/m-p/1296073#M25997 I will try this if no one has a better idea here :)Solved
