Why don't I have the web GUI on DD-WRT router?

If you can't see the DD-WRT web GUI, it could be a few things: you might be using the wrong IP (try 192.168.1.1), the router might need a quick reboot, or the firmware didn’t install right. Also, check your browser or firewall—they can sometimes block it. If nothing works, a reset might help.
 
Usually means the web interface crashed or didn’t load right.

First thing to try: restart the router. Simple, but it works a lot.

If that doesn’t help:
  • Try accessing it using the IP 192.168.1.1
  • Use a different browser or clear your cache
  • If you still don’t see the GUI, it might be bricked or the firmware flash didn’t go right
In that case, you might need to reset it or reflash DD-WRT. Kinda annoying, but doable.
