After updating to iOS 14, I’m unable to login using the Router Utility app. With username and password filled in device settings/info, the app reports as Router unreachable in the main list. Tapping the router here just reports “Error in communicating with the router”. If I leave password (or username) unfilled, the router shows green in the list but still reports as unreachable when I tap and enter credentials in the Login screen.
Luckily I have a test device running iOS 13.7. I installed Router Utility on that device and I can connect that way. Is there an iOS 14 update coming soon? Is there a workaround other than not running on iOS 14?
I’m seeing some strange things since i updated to iOS 14. I think it may have to do with a new feature called “Private address”.
It generates random MAC addresses when joining a network. Try disabling private address in your wifi settings for given network and rejoining to see if that clears it up.
Rarely, a network might allow you to join with a private address, but won’t allow internet access. If that happens, you can stop using a private address with that network.
Hi. Apple [again] made some significant changes in this iOS release.
On your iOS product to to Settings → router Utility. Is “Local Network” on (green)? I think it must be. Does that address the issue, i wonder?
You’ll probably also want to do as @stego suggested, eliminate randomized MAC addressing on your trusted network which is behind a balance router – particularly if you re using that MAC/IP address to perform any routing functions - e.g outbound policies.
