How can I re-enable the web interface of a dd-wrt router with no SSH or telnet connection?

Question

I accidentally disabled my D-link router's web interface. I installed dd-wrt firmware on it. The router's SSH and telnet connections are disabled. I don't want to reset the router.

How can I enable the web interface?

Solution 1

I recommend following these steps in the future: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=29181

nvram set httpd_enable=1
nvram set http_enable=1
nvram commit

you can just reboot, or start httpd from the commandline

httpd -p 80

I followed them and got mine to work

Solution 2

SSH and then:

nvram set remote_management=1
nvram set http_wanport=8080 
nvram set httpsd_enable=1 
nvram set https_enable=1
nvram set remote_mgt_https=1 
nvram commit 
reboot 

Then connect:

https://wanIP:8080/

Solution 3

Ok..I got it.. I access it over https..and entered username and password.

Keep in mind,there are protocols (http and https) that router used to display its web-based interface.

thank you guys..

He mentioned that SSH is disabled.

SSH is not enabled..

Feel free to mark this as accepted. You won't get rep, but it does let the system know it has an accepted answer, and future goolgers will be able to find it faster.

This is still very helpful if you have ssh enabled, though.

It was very helpful for me, as I did have SSH but locked myself out of the HTTP.

I had the same issue, but had to DISABLE TLS before the browser let me connect via HTTPS. I do believe modern browsers will see older firmare HTTPS as insecure.
