Clear Browser Data:
Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies and attempt to access the IP address again.

Update Your Browser:
Older browser versions may cause compatibility issues. Make sure both your browser and router firmware are up to date.

Router Reset:
If configuration issues prevent you from accessing the router settings, consider performing a router reset. This will restore all settings to their factory defaults.

To reset the router, press and hold the RESET button on the back of the device for 5-10 seconds (using a safety pin or toothpick). When the SYS LED lights blink, the reset is complete.
