I just got the GL-BE3600. This is my fifth router from GL.iNet.
I set everything up and was prompted for a firmware upgrade. I went ahead and did it, keeping my config. After it finished, the admin password stopped working. I figured the old config didn’t import correctly after the upgrade. No big deal, I had only set up a few VPNs.
I did a factory reset from the button, logged back in, and set everything up again. Ran some tests, everything looked fine.
Then I unplugged the router to test it with a battery bank. It booted up, Wi-Fi and internet were working, but I couldn’t access the admin panel again.
At this point I thought maybe I was losing my mind. I power-cycled it just in case. Same issue.
So I did another factory reset. Now I’m a bit annoyed since I had already spent about two hours setting everything up. I set the password again, even copied it into Notepad to be sure. Configured Wi-Fi, DHCP, tested again, then did a power cycle…
And guess what? The password stopped working again.
I can’t be the only one experiencing this.
I’m a little bit scared that this is those weird stuff that happens only to me, and I will spend hours trying to find what could be, so I’m just rolling the dices here, before returning the router.
Thanks in advance to anybody reading this
