I reset my device to factory defaults and rebuilt the config from screenshots in an attempt to fix the HTTP/HTTPS login issue.
It did not fix the login issue where the device claims I'm entering the wrong password from certain browsers.
The following things did change with a factory reset just FYI...
1. In Preferences->Service Type .... #13 ICMPv6 was not there before the factory reset.
2. In Preferences->IPv6 Group->IPv6 Group .... #3 1@NETWORK for LAN was not there before the factory reset
3. In Preferences->IPv6 Group->IPv6 Address .... #2 1@NETWORK_1 for LAN was not there before the factory reset

Hi @Clive_A !
I don't have any URL filters rules in my config. I use an Omada Controller but it's in a cloud provider on a VPS.
For the mDNS setup, I create a rule to add Chromecast service and after I created a rule in mDNS setting with my IoT VLAN as service network and my Home VLAN as client network. On the ER605 v1, I have the same config and it's works well.
I don't test the config in standalone mode, I only use the Controller.
I need more details from you. Please paste your config here.
BTW, did you set up any ACL? Any chance that ACL blocks the connection?

Hi @DNA1010 @JCUK @ceejaybassist
Can I know did you enable DMZ(NAT) and Block TCP Scan with RST(Attack Defense) at the same time when you were running into the "random reboot" issue previously?
Please let me know if you enabled both when you were having trouble with the stability.
@ceejaybassist Please let me know your result when you test this beta firmware. ER605_V2_2.1.4_Build20230727 (Beta) Is the reboot issue fixed?

I don't see the 605, etc in your online store. on-line store seems to be consumer products. Is Amazon considered to be an authorized retailer?
If you get it from Amazon, highly recommend you get it from Amazon official. By and from Amazon. Most products are available on Amazon.
Other authorized online stores should be fine as well.
