http://192.168.1.1/) It seems to start happening after the router has been running for some time (at least a day or two I’d guess), and the only way I’ve found to correct it is to cycle the router’s power. The problem occurs with both the official Linksys 1.42.2 and 1.42.3 firmware revisions (I haven’t tried any others). Yes, after update to 1.42.2-EU-Version of FW (from wifibox) I had to connect via https to reach the webinterface. After working in configuration pages and saving it went back to normal http connectivity. Don’t know why…!? – At least https seems to work as a workaround. Thanks for the idea (never would have thought to try it). Maybe I’ll just use https all the time from now on.
