Manage RT-AC88U router without an Internet connection

AlHolden

We have a RT-AC88U (and RT-AC68U on AIMesh) connected to the Frontier FIOS service. The AC88U is running 3.0.0.4.386_48263

Whenever I want to administer the router (using 192.168.0.1, or the router.asus.com address which replaces that IP), there's no response or a plain white page - unless the router has a working Internet connection.

Once the WAN is working, the router's admin pages all come up just fine.

This seems like a paradox, as I will never be able to administer the router (to fix a WAN configuration issue) when the router cannot contact the Internet.

Is there a setting I can change, which will allow me to admin the router from the LAN - when the WAN's not there?

What is the IP address of the device/computer you are using ASUSwrt (web interface) on?
