Router management webpage not loading
f/w v. 2.7.4.24
I've had my Orbi RBR50 plus some sattellites for several years, no issues.
Suddenly, I'm unable to navigate the administration web page. The Home page on the Basic tab that comes up when I first log in never loads. It just show "Please wait a moment" with a spinning wheel forever. I can go to the Advanced tab and get something, and maybe one or 2 other pages will load. But very little is working.
If I go to Advanced->Adminsitration->Attached Devices (a page I've used over and over on this device on this network), I get a 400 Bad Request. "This server does not support the operation requested by your client." If I go to Basic->Attached Devices I just get the spinning "Please Wait a Moment"

The first troubleshooting step is to turn the router off. wait a couple of minutes. then power it on again.
Clear any browser cache or select a different web browser.
If the problem persists, the next step would be to do a Factory Reset.

So true. In my case, I have spent so much time customizing things (DNS servers, friendly names for every device, assigned IPs for nearly every device, DDNS, OpenVPN, etc.) a Factory Reset can take me almost two hours of tedious typing.
Lately, I have been saving copies of the configuration to my computer. During the configuration after a Factory Reset, I skip all offers to do anything optional until I reach a page that gives a chance to Load a Saved Configuration. This restores everything that I had set up before. Cuts the time down to about 10 minutes.
So sorry.
