No HTTPS access to admin interface on WRT160n v3 [ Edited ]

[seezee]

I was unable to access the web admin on my WRT160n v3 w/ latest firmware this morning. Reset config to defaults & was able to get in. Enabled HTTPS access & disabled HTTP access & was right back where I started; reset to defaults again & left both boxes checked. Can access via HTTP, but HTTPS requests get refused/reset.

The reason I needed access was that when I booted up my laptop this morning, my wireless card wasn't picking up an IP address via WIFI, only worked via ethernet, so I need to see what was going on there — several reboots of the router didn't fix, nor has it fixed the HTTPS access problem described above.

I am having this same issue with an E1000 router.  Just started fairly recently.  I just posted, here in the forums, regarding it.  HTTPS access is not working at all for me.  I had to reset the router and go through and reapply all my settings but change the Local Management Access back to HTTP.  Works fine with HTTP and I saved this config.  If I change it to HTTPS, though, I completely lose access, again, and have to reset the router and apply the HTTP config.  So, seems we are having the exact same issue.

Ah.  See, here:

Same issue.  I thought it might be due to a MS update.  Apparently so.

I've tested this on both a Windows XP machine and a Mac (OS X Lion), so it's not an OS issue. Originally did not test in any browsers other than Chrome. I did just test in Firefox & Safari on Windows & they do not reproduce the problem — HTTPS ok in FF & Safari.

So, this appears to be a Chrome compatibility issue. (Note: clearing cookies doesn't help).

Thanks for the response.

So, maybe it is a different issue for me.  I am fairly certain I am having the same issue described in the link I posted, above.

I have swicthed to https and can no longer access my router.

What port should be specified when using https?

I am having the same issue with my WRT160n v3.  I just upgraded the firmware to v3.0.03  and the issue is not resolved.   It's been almost 2 yrs since a new firmware upgrade has been available.  I wouldn't hold your breath to see a fix at this time.
