I have been very happy with my MX64W for a good long while. I am running recent firmware without trouble. My 'dashboard' all works. However, if I want to login directly to the device and go to the "Configure" part, I keep getting "incorrect password".
Yes, I know that I am not to put put in the password, but only the "username" which, by default, is the serial number of the box. Yet, when I do this it is rejected. Further, I have never changed the username and have had no problems in the past.
The first thing I tried: I removed all the cables and connected to box directly from my laptop. Same issue.
Next I did a factory reset, but left the box connected to my network so when it came back on line it would receive all the info (particularly my static assignments - as I have a lot of them). Still can't login to configure part.
Most recent activity; I turned port 4 into second wan port and added Starlink to that port and used load balancing (works great as I only had adsl before that.
What you may have already figured out, or will soon enough; I'm in over my head. Yes, I set up my own network, bridged my CenturyLink router, assigned fixed ip addresses to all my stuff, then, years later, added Starlink, and got it all to work, beyond that, I don't know what I'm doing.
One last point; you may be wondering why, if everything is working, am I bothering with trying to get into the direct configure part of the box. The answer is two fold: 1) what if something goes wrong and I have to. 2) it's bugging the hell out of me and sometimes I get obsessed over stupid stuff.
