This clearly seems to be a PC browser issue, but…. I saw someone else with this problem in the past.
OS: System Version: macOS 12.7.6 (21H1320)
Browser: Chrome is up to date Version 145.0.7632.117 (Official Build) (x86_64)
So… I replaced my DIY Flashed openwrt router with a Flint2, used the same IP address, wifi network names… ETC.
When I connect to the admin page with my usual chrome browser ( I type192.168.1.1 in the location bar ) my browser seems to want to connect to the old Luci admin page for the now disconnected openwrt router. Attached screencap of what I see. Logs below. Not really an issue, safari, firefox, opera and a new chrome profile connect correctly to admin page so I have lost no functionality, just a mild annoyance.
Starting a whole new instance of chrome with a blank data directory also goes to the Flint front end.
$ mkdir /Users/komalley/chrome-profiles/testflint
$ open --new -na "Google Chrome" --args --user-data-dir=/Users/komalley/chrome-profiles/testflint --new-window "http://192.168.1.1"
Blank profile is Fine. Any profile that connected to old router… Issue.
Yes, I have removed all browsing data, passwords and and cookies for 192.168.1.1, or at least I have tried to, but obviously chrome just can’t quit the old OpenWRT.
Not expecting any resolution, you guys are fine, just reporting because SOMEBODY is going to blame GL.iNet and return a router.

Obviously, Chrome is trying to connect to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci despite my every effort not to, and since
luci is on tcp 8080 on the Flint, this aint gonna work.
