This is an odd one. Going to 192.168.1.1 which is the address for accessing the router, I am able to login, but when I attempt to go to the connectivity settings, or the WiFi settings, I get a infinite waiting loading screen, and it never goes past that point. I have power cycled the router and it still will not allow me in to these areas. I have tried via FF and Edge. The router is a Linksys EA3800. At this point, I have no idea what to do next.

Are you running any browser extensions, like NoScript?

 

Have you tried doing a factory reset?

 I was using Edge without any extensions running. I may have to do a factory reset, could it have anything to do with the PoE switch connected? I guess I should ask @BudMan

Id doubt that, but.. Do a factory reset, if that doesn't work, RMA or get a new one.

I was able to gain access via Linksys app on the cell phone, and there was a firmware update, so that may have resolved the issue.

Yeah, that could be.

 

Linksys? I would put DDwrt on there... :)

I am not sure - didn't come up with simple google.  But openwrt works just as well - some say better than ddwrt ;) You could most likely string together some random gibberish and call it code and load it up and it would be better than the native firmware of most soho routers ;)

      They've been focusing on security and quality? Could have fooled me. Their own paying customers literally just got breached because they failed to push SharePoint updates downstream to on prem servers operating outside of their "365" ecosystem.

      The animosity is unnecessary, when I opened the page I only saw one response which never mentioned your other steps, and when I hit reply it jumped straight to the bottom and again, I saw no other responses.  I was simply agreeing with the first comment that said yes, you should be fine if you erase its current operating system. Using another PC, or the copy of Windows that comes on that PC (former option is more trustworthy), download and run the Windows Media Creation tool.  It will walk you thru the process of downloading Windows and writing it to a USB stick.  It will even ask you at one point whether you're reinstalling it to the current machine or installing it on another machine. Then just boot the PC in question from that USB stick.  Usually spamming Esc, Del, F-8, F-9, F-10, F-11, F-12 or F-2 immediately after power on will bring up a boot menu, it varies by manufacturer.  If Windows starts booting you either missed your window or hit the wrong key. Follow the on-screen instructions.  When it gets to the disk formatting part I usually just delete all the partitions on the destination drive, then select the unpartitioned space as my destination.  The Windows installer will then automatically partition the drive as needed. Be prepared to download drivers from the PC manufacturer's website, they may not come bundled with Windows and you may not be able to use things like WiFi or ethernet until you have them.  They "might" work straight away, but they also might not.  Better to be prepared with a spare PC and a USB stick to transfer them over.

      I keep getting ignored when I ask what you guys mean by nuke it. I described the steps and I keep getting the same generic instructions. Can you look at what I have posted multiple times already and validate what I have described? You can't assume everyone has your level of expertise and can interpret your nuking advice. After this many posts in this thread, I don't think we need the same generic advice about just nuke it and reinstall. It's already been said. So can you please outline the specifics? Made in Ukraine? Are you sure?
