[Discuss] Issues with actiontec router

[Jerry Feldman]

I have a new actiontec wcb300n router. The problem I have with it is I
cannot connect to its admin page via Linux.
I did a factory reset, and now it is showing a local address of
192.168.99.254
In the past I used another actiontec and was able to access the admin page.
Eliminating security, I disabled firewalld, booted into multi-user mode and
used lynx
[gaf at fedora ~]$ lynx 192.168.99.254

Looking up 192.168.99.254 first
Looking up 192.168.99.254
Making HTTP connection to 192.168.99.254
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://192.168.99.254/

Additionally, I booted into a Live Ubuntu. This time I was served a
10.0.0.0/24 address. But still had the same problem, cannot access the
router's admin page.

I switched the cable to the second port and not I get a 10. cable address I
can use for zoom and jitsi meetings, but I still need to configure the
router to change the wifi ssids.

So, and suggestions before I return this to Amazon.
