Router reboot causing infinite initialization

Yesterday among other things i rebooted my router to do some cable management and NAS work, and now RatOS is stuck in a infinite initializing loop, been like that all night I didn't change any network config apart from some Port Forwarding Any suggestions on what to look into?

so i've gone to the Configure link and told it what network to connect to again, this link now no longer works so i assume it's done something still doesn't load mainsail though

prolly got a new IP when you did that and RatOS.local is cached on your machine. Try rebooting your computer or use the IP address (get it from your router).

so my machine has been rebooted and, lucky me, my router is a piece of shit and doesn't let me see what devices are connected to it fucking smart, always online devices, i have to log into their customer portal of my ISP to change settings REE can try and disable cache and see though, ty

yeah, it works quite well apart from when their website is down for maintenance and i can't change settings...such as Wifi passwords or you need a "advanced" feature and see what the ip of things connected to it is i might just pull out my old router and use it, though i still have to use my ISP one since the fiber SFP goes directly into it

🤦‍♂️ why would you need internet access to do that, that's so crazy.

ikr this would have been fine, if the default gateway access was also enabled which it isn't So what i'll do is get my old router setup and try to connect the raspberry through that instead as i will have full control of that currently i can't get the configure page to work either, is there any way to make it go back into that mode?

There's no mode, /configure should always work

interesting

The reason you're getting this is because the application is cached in your browser, there's no response from your pi If you do ctrl + shift + r it'll give you the same "This site can't be reached"

so it's fairly safe to assume, that right now it's not connected at all
miklschmidt
miklschmidt2y ago
yes

gotcha, i'll keep looking into it and come back to you 👍 cheers

So the update is...no luck, i can see the Pi is hosting the Ratos wifi, and i can connect to it successfully, but still not reach anything on ratos.local/configure Tried using a internet cable aswell, from the PI to the switch and when that failed directly to the router, still reaching nothing and erroring out with this error

With the wifi hotspot, use 192.168.50.1

will try that ty god damn look at that, it worked well i got into mainsail ... i tried this earlier and it didn't work but now it does i hate computers sometimes all working, thanks for the help 👍
blacksmithforlife
When in doubt, use the IP address
unwilling-turquoise

fair strange thing is, the ip address i'm using now is 192.168.1.4 LUL i'm now using my old router, it actually lets me see the ip for things connected to it, makes it a breeze to find the pi 👍

Your own router assigns it an IP once connected. 192.168.50.1 is hard coded with the hotspot.

yeah figured, i tried using that earlier and didn't get anywhere for some reason, assume it solved itself somewhere in my troubleshooting previously, when using the ISP router i tried a lot of IP's before i found the one the PI was on...absolutely stupid
blacksmithforlife
Basic networking. The hotspot is basically it's own router and has a static IP address. When you then connect to your router, that assigns it a new IP address

i am familiar with how they work the problem being not being able to know what IP the PI was one once connected to the router, as the one from my ISP doesn't list connected devices...

yeah that's no fun

yeah LUL did find out you can have CMD list everything on the network it can find by using "arp -a" so that's quite neat

Yup, lot's of cool Linux commands Nmap is another one you could use

that's for linux? i'm talking about the DOS window in Windows
unwilling-turquoise
unwilling-turquoise2y ago
ah neat, ty
blacksmithforlife
Yeah a lot of Linux commands have been ported to windows and now with subsystem for Linux you can just install a Linux os and run them natively

that's quite neat i've wanted to fiddle with Linux at some point, just never have had the time for it
