Hi, I have just received a MT300N-V2 It worked correctly the first time: I have connected to 192.168.8.1, I have updated firmware, I have setup OpenVPN, and it was behaving correctly. Then I tried setting the mode switch slider to “openvpn”, it would say that the setting was applied, but then when I got back to the homepage the slider was set again to “nothing”. I rebooted the router, but now even though the router works (it is correctly connected to the OpenVPN account and I have traffic) I can’t connect to the GUI interface anymore. When I type the ip address 192.168.8.1 in the browser it will just respond as “unable to connect”. I haven’t changed the LAN IP, and I have also looked inside my network connections, and the router’s ip still is 192.168.8.1, so the address is correct. What’s wrong? What should I do? Thanks ---

Same result. ☹ I’m going to reset the router and try again from scratch. ---

Sounds like a browser cache issue. Try this: [http://192.168.8.1/html/index](http://192.168.8.1/html/index) and this [http://192.168.8.1/cgi-bin/luci](http://192.168.8.1/cgi-bin/luci) ---

I have tried with different computers and even phones. Even with the URLs you suggested, it does not work. How do I reset to factory? I have tried pushing the button for 10 seconds, but nothing happened. 😕   ---

“After 10 seconds the middle LED will flash 4 times per seconds, release your finger now and it will clear all user data and reboot.” I have been trying this method repeatedly, but after the led starts blinking 4 times per second, and I release the button, nothing happens. It will not do anything, doesn’t even reboot. I think it’s a faulty unit. ---

I think I have found the problem: I connected via ssh and I received this message:   Your JFFS2-partition seems full and overlayfs is mounted read-only. Please try to remove files from /overlay/upper/… and rebot!   The problem now is that I can’t delete anything because it is set as read-only! How can I do this? ---

Ok, I solved by entering the failsafe web GUI and flashing a new firmware. This time I have only uploaded a few ovpn files (and not the complete “library” from my VPN service), which did not saturate the memory and everything looks fine. I’ll keep testing and see what happens. ---

Yes… very frustrating… and some answers need a university degree just to understand. Heres what you need to enter… **[http://192.168.8.1/index.html](http://192.168.8.1/index.html)** Hope it works for you… Gazinbali ---

@mikalbi It seems like you’ve got a different issue than the OP. A new thread where you post what OS you’re running on your “desktop” as well as its IP addresses and routes might be a good approach. ---

Why you search GooGle? You should enter 192.168.8.1 in address bar, not search filed. Make sure you have connect to the router(with LAN cable or wireless). ---

Because you need to put 192.168.8.1 in the address bar and not the search bar. ---

I was having the same issue can not connect 192.168.8.1 in browser. I went to my android phone, turned on wifi then in setup directed me to a browser and there I was in the routers setup! For me, when I couldn’t connect to 192.168.8.1 you think the router doesn’t work but it does. Just not on your pc. ---

If anyone here has updated to a newer version of OpenWrt you may see that you cannot access the GLI Admin panel. The OpenWrt website states :- Unsupported Functions: [NAND flash not supported until after 19.07.x](https://openwrt.org/unsupported/nand_flash_not_supported_until_after_19.07.x), [must be forced into booting from NOR flash](https://openwrt.org/unsupported/must_be_forced_into_booting_from_nor_flash) You may find that going to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.8.1 directs you to the OpenWrt Luci interface. It seems i have this problem . Getting an older version 19 firmware file is proving to be a little difficult at the moment.as of Jan 2023 and although i like the GLI Admin interface it seems for now i will be forced to stick with the full OpenWrt V22. ---

Your link is not available anymore. Nand is well supported in modern OpenWrt I think. [Next page](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/cant-open-192-168-8-1-anymore/2702.md?page=2)
