"MODERN" Browser/OS not connecting to Router WEB INTERFACE, but connecting on antique computer/OS
Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to connect to the web interface of this router with a "modern" computer or software. I know this router is out of support.
I am not able to connect from Windows 10 or Debian 12 using recent versions of Firefox or other browsers.
Whatever I try, the browser becomes unresponsive with an ERROR TIMEOUT. I've tried with two computers (DELL INSPIRON 7000, (2020?) and Lenovo T480 (2017?)), the latter also using an Ethernet cable, but nothing works. TIMEOUT. Not reachable.
Fortunately, the Internet connection works fine through this router interface, and both computers can connect to the internet and the Wi-Fi without problems.
What's most interesting is that the router's web interface works fine with old browsers and computers. So, I can configure the router through the web interface at the LAN IP address (192.168.1.1) using a very old DELL Inspiron 640m with Xubuntu 18.04. Even my Playstation 3, with some tweaks to its ancient browser, lets me connect to the web interface. The FTP service offered by this router is active and doesn't show any connection problems with any computer.
Therefore, I think the problem lies with the web server used by the router, which fails to communicate with most recent computers or protocols. Do you know of any workaround to solve this? I've tried connecting using a VirtualBox guest with the same version of Xubuntu as my DELL Inspiron, hoping to replicate the success of the older DELL INSPIRON, but this didn't work.
The router is connected to a VDSL MODEM reachable through 192.168.2.1; this modem also has a web interface that responds correctly to requests from any computer connected to the LAN.
Anyway, I would appreciate any help to understand why it's not working with relatively modern software and hardware.
