Can't log into luci

[BashDashovi]

I just upgraded to the Gigabit dual band router and everything is working great except I’m not able to log in using luci. 192.168.10.1/cgi-bin/luci and I get a log in prompt, but after entering the password, the log in screen just loads again. I can log into the PCWRT interface just fine with the same password.

Has luci been disabled in the latest build or do I need to set a password for luci separately?

Luci has been removed in the latest update. Do you have any specific needs for Luci?

I find it easier to do some advanced settings than adding firewall rules via uci commands. My network is a little non-standard in that my router and a few other machines are behind a cable modem, and most of the rest of the devices are behind the router. So I needed to poke a hole through the firewall to allow access to the WAN. I realize most people wouldn’t need to do this and there are other ways to make the changes, but I prefer LUCI.

@BashDashovi When you say poke a hole for WAN access, do you mean port forwarding?

[BashDashovi]

I’m not sure if what I did qualifies as port forwarding, I’m allowing tcp on port 80 from the WAN so that I can configure the router from its WAN (all still in my home’s LAN).

Here are the commands I ran after sshing in:

(NOTE: For those who come across this: DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! This creates a huge security hole in most circumstances!)
uci add firewall rule
uci set firewall.@rule[-1].src=wan
uci set firewall.@rule[-1].target=ACCEPT
uci set firewall.@rule[-1].proto=tcp
uci set firewall.@rule[-1].dest_port=80
uci commit firewall
/etc/init.d/firewall restart

You can set this up by creating a port forwarding rule on the Network Settings page. Select the router for Internal Address.
