Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: Latest

I have updated to latest firmware of Archer C7 few days ago (rev. 5 if I'm not mistaken). After it I can't open router control dashboard.

http://192.168.0.1/ redirects to http://192.168.0.1/webpages/error.1593336984117.html with message

 

No such file or directory

 

How could I fix it? Rebooting router won't fix the issue.

No, I didn't reset the router as it was somewhat working, but internet was sluggish a bit. I was not ready to reset all my configuration (static IPs and cloned mac that I don’t remember).

 

I decided to do it on weekend, and I tried to open admin dashboard today and it works. Haven't changed anything. I don't get it. Looks like the problem was resolved by itself. Haven't heard of self-healing routers before

SOLVED

 

It is some kind of token stuck in your browser, you need to hard reload the page and that fixes it.

Have you tried to reset the router ? I've seen similar issues with C7 FW upgrade in the community.

Like I said, it has happened with C7 after FW upgrade, so that was the solution for resolving the issue.

I have the same issue

 

It happened after FW upgrade last night.

 

Will try to wait for a bit if, see if it will solve itself. Turning the router off and on using the HW button on it did not fix it.

 

Internet still works though.

my workaround is to use http://tplinkwifi.net (not http://192.168.0.1)
