This Article Applies to:
ER605 V2 2.2.2 Build 20231017
Note that this new change may affect all Omada routers since the last major firmware release in Dec 2023. Please make sure you read the release note before your upgrade. We will not send any forms of notifications to you about this issue.
Issue Description/Phenomenon:
We received feedback after the upgrade of ER605 V2 2.2.2 Build 20231017, some users would not be able to access their admin page due to the force redirection to HTTPS. Due to the security fix on this version, the router will force to connect you to HTTPS. If you disabled the HTTPS before, you cannot access the page properly.
Available Workarounds/Solutions:
Our dev team has noticed this issue and will fix this issue in the future firmware update.
Scenario 1: Have NOT upgraded to the V2.2.2 Build 20231017.
Before your upgrade to the ER605 V2 2.2.2 Build 20231017, please enable the HTTPS server status on your admin page.
Go to System Tools > Admin Setup > System Settings > HTTPS Server Status = Enable.
Scenario 2: Upgraded to V2.2.2 Build 20231017 and unable to access the admin page.
For anyone who has upgraded to this version and encountered this issue, please try to access your router by its IP_addres:80, if this still redirects you to the HTTPS, unfortunately, you have to reset the router.
There are two options for you. Use this version or skip it and use the V2.1.5 beta after you reset the router.
Option 1. Downgrade to the previous firmware import the backup and enable HTTPS (steps in Scenario 1). This will retain the settings. Then upgrade to the V2.2.2 or to V2.1.5 beta.
Option 2. Start over by resetting the router. And the router will stay on V2.2.2.
We are sorry for this inconvenience caused by the security fix on this firmware. We will fix this issue in the future firmware update.
Thank you for your attention!
