Hi All! So I have an old E3000 that I attempted to flash dd-wrt on, and while it went well initially, upgrading to a newer version seems to have caused some issues. The router starts up and I can connect to it and the GUI however after a few minutes it suddenly doesn't work (the page is not reachable). After restarting it works again, but just for a few minutes. What can I do here? I guess I may have installed a version of dd-wrt that is a bit too big/causing memory issues? I don't believe the router itself is "bricked" as I can ping it even when the GUI is not accessible. Thanks!

Firmware version: DD-WRT v3.0-r56326 big (05/10/24)
Kernel version: Linux 2.6.24.111 #35579 Fri May 10 03:31:26 +07 2024 mips

Your IP address will probably be blocked because you or your browser are fooling around

Connect to the router with another client with a different IP address and you will see that the web interface is accessible again

No way, this actually worked for me! I feel like such an idiot. I could have sworn I was testing from two different devices a week ago (a laptop and desktop) - just today I wanted to try again and the laptop just would not connect after a few minutes every restart. Used my phone - works flawlessly! (so far)

@bushant - thank you for the links, will review those as well in any case.

thanks!

Private/Incognito browsing mode, no extensions or password managers utilized, preferably a portable browser that is not defaulting to https separate from your internet surfing. IDGAF what the YouTube videos show, just stop.
