Cannot login into Asus Router

[Coal_Cracker]

I must be overlooking something very simple here. I was just logged into my router a few weeks ago and now neither of my desktops can log into my router. I can log right in from my mobile phone WTF.

If you enabled https try https:/router.asus.com:8443 or the routers ip replacing router.asus.com

I just entered the IP and got in. https:/router.asus.com:8443 didn't work either.

Try from a private/incognito session. If that works, clear your cache and cookies. Or try another browser.

I always use the routers IP, the router.asus.com can be flaky.

Sounds like could be a dns lookup issue.

I always use IP's for logging into routers and I believe the instructions on most routers normally say use the IP.

They don't especially on new routers.

Nope, unfortunately Asus promotes the URL method.

Mine doesn't but I probably have different intsructions being in the UK.

Asus often use 192.168.1.1 as an ip anyway. Mine is different becuase I have a modem firewall in bridge mode and my Asus sits behind that.I changed the IP therefore as it wasn't internet facing.

OP, Try the above IP and see if it works.

Often (192.168.1.1), but not always: many of their newer units use 192.168.50.1. One of those should work if it comes down to doing a full factory reset (this is generally done by either by doing a long press of the Reset or WPS buttons while powering the unit on).

I have one of the newer units. I got it last year it is the 192.168.50.1 IP

Its because the name server in the router (DNS) is not the primary forwarder.
Some other DNS in the computer's table is returning an 503 error to the browser because it can't forward it because its not a real domain name.
To restore the DNS table you would only have the router's DNS IP in the IPv4 networking properties and reset the DNS table inside the computer by typing "ipconfig /flushdns " at a command prompt (for windows).
