Router working, but asking for Admin Pass and won't allow me to create or log in
Router working, but asking for Admin Pass and won't allow me to create or log in
I have had this router for several years. The last month I've been using it with a new ISP (previously I only used it as a wireless network, no internet), through Shentel. It's worked fine with no issue. I have the router set to reboot every morning around 3AM through the settings.
I wake up this morning to no WIFI on my phone. It's connected but there is a ! symbol for there being no internet or issues. I turned the WIFI on/off on my phone a couple times, but it wouldn't work. I get up and turn the PC on, no WIFI. So I power the modem off for a bit, then back on. And the router as well. It takes two tries before the router starts giving me a WIFI signal and ethernet to my PC.
However, I can no longer log into the settings. Not through Tether or the browser I have setup for this and used several times over the last month.
The login page now tells me "Please create an administrator password to manager your Archer A6."
However any password I try to use, cycles back to this screen. I'm repeatedly getting popups about an invalid RSA key.
This was working fine when I went to bed around 2am and then just randomly started happening. There is no rhyme or reason as to why it could suddenly happen. And just as suddenly be working again. But seemingly it's a bug/issue in the software. I updated the router a month ago to it's latest firmware version available. It was a v2 initially and went to like 1.10 or so.
The create page, after closing the initial RSA popup and clicking the create button, is giving me an error like I'm attempting to log into the router. And has subsequently locked for 2 hours because I've tried to 'log in' 10 times. Using the same password I've always used with it.
At this point, I don't know what to do.
