Question Cant Access my RT-AC86U via router.asus.com only via IP

[Michael-Jacob]

Hey Guys i just bough a Asus RT-AC86U and everything is fine with it
The First time i logged into it i used router.asus.com, and i could access it normally.
I tweaked some stuff etc, including changing the original IP "Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 from 192.168.50.1, but after a while i wanted to access the router via router.access.com but i couldn't anymore.
Any Ideia why i can't access it anymore through router.asus.com?
Thanks

I've never been able to successfully use router.asus.com as a link for my AP, despite being in the reference material that shipped with the unit - but I have also manually assigned IPs etc.
So, with that, I'd assume "router.asus.com" is just a cover for "192.168.1.1" and once you've changed that, it's incapable of looking up your 'true' IP and allowing you to log in.

Then if i change the IP back to 192.168.50.1 i will be able to access through router.asus.com??

I've no clue, I've never tried.
I suspect yes.... but I don't see why you'd want/need to, when you can navigate to it via the IP you've assigned?

DNS issue

LOL. Man when these things happens, I just ignore it and use what works, is really not worth my time to try figure it out. But is a DNS thing like ^he says, if u want to spend the time on it.
