Stops at login page [WRT3200ACM]

See original GitHub issue

I started with the stock firmware completely cleared and under the connectivity page I upgraded the firmware using openwrt-21.02.0-rc2-wrt3200acm-squashfs-factory.img

Everything looked like it took fine.

However, when I try using http://192.168.1.1 I’m redirected to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/. The warning says that no password is installed, so I press the login button and nothing happens.

I’m able to ssh / scp to the router

This is usually caused by browser heuristics. If LuCI’s “sysauth” cookie was once set via HTTPS in the past, browsers refuse to accept a new “sysauth” cookie via plain HTTP. Due to that you’re thrown back to the login dialog after pressing login.

For Firefox:

press F12 to open the inspector
select the “Storage” tab, open the cookies list on the left side
select the “sysauth” cookie row on the right and press delete to remove it
close the inspector and retry

For Chrome:

press F12 to open the inspector
select the “Application” tab
on the left side, open the “Cookies” list and select the “http://192.168.1.1” origin
select the “sysauth” cookie row on the right and press delete to remove it
close the inspector and retry

Hello,

I just upgraded from version 18, clean wipe. Has the same issue as OP. Try to login with good password, there was no error it just didn’t log in, same as pressing F5. I could login with a firefox private window Deleting sysauth cooking as outlined above as fixed the issue
