I thought of trying with firmware reset before doing manual install as suggested.
Firmware reset worked for me so did not do manual install.
However, I am bit concerned now because it is not ideal to do Firmware reset every time as you clean all your settings and you need to set everything up from the scratch.
I wonder if there is some option to export all the configurations before performing reset and load all those settings later on.
You can export all the settings and its fine to use them at later time, if you are staying with in same firmware range and there were no issues when settings were saved.
But when making a big jump in a firmware upgrade, lets say from OpenWrt 21 to OpenWrt 22, than its best to NOT re-use the settings. Most of the time it should work fine, but sometimes in some cases you might run in to issues. Its not always the case, but it does happen.
That's opera browser. They have built in VPN but I never use it. That's just there. There was no issue accessing router admin page, issue was with that message prompt.
Now the issue is already resolved otherwise I would have confirmed it in other browser, but thanks anyways.
