TP Link router respond to ping but admin page times out

I have TP Link router with an access point attached to it to extend bandwidth over the entire house. I did this setup around 5 years back at my family's house which works perfect to this point. However I am trying to log in to admin page of the router but I am facing a connection timeout issue.

I made sure the Gateway address is the same I am using in the browser and with telnet command

personal-nizar:~ NizarYousri$ route get default
   route to: default
destination: default
       mask: default
    gateway: 192.168.1.1
  interface: en0
      flags: <UP,GATEWAY,DONE,STATIC,PRCLONING>
 recvpipe  sendpipe  ssthresh  rtt,msec    rttvar  hopcount      mtu     expire
       0         0         0         0         0         0      1500         0


personal-nizar:~ NizarYousri$ telnet -d 192.168.1.1 80
Trying 192.168.1.1...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.1.1: Operation timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

I forgot to mention that I am able to ping the IP without a problem

personal-nizar:~ NizarYousri$ ping 192.168.1.1

EDIT

Here's ifconfig result below

ifconfig 
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr b8:27:eb:95:45:56  
          inet addr:192.168.1.4  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

And this is the user's guide for the very router

http://192.168.1.1

I am using a wired connection to straight to the router.

Obviously my goal is to be able to get the login page for my router. I really appreciate your assistance folks

Yes correct - into the LAN – user2119344 – 2017-12-24T00:50:20.807

Have you tried rebooting it and keep refreshing the web browser while it's booting? Try keeping the IP gateway blank so no gateway and just be sure the subnet mask is correct and the IP is not duplicate too just in case. It should still be able to access it on the same subnet without gateway. – Pimp Juice IT – 2017-12-24T00:53:17.903

Yeap - just did that. Same result. – user2119344 – 2017-12-24T00:59:42.997

Do you have tons of configurations on that thing? Just curious how catastrophic a factory reset would be if that's even an option in your case. I assume you have no recent configuration backups where you could wipe and then push the config? – Pimp Juice IT – 2017-12-24T01:08:38.033

How many LAN ports does this thing have by chance? I know on some routers you can setup restriction to just allow admin access on one specific LAN port too so think about that and eliminate that if you have time to do so. – Pimp Juice IT – 2017-12-24T01:10:37.480

@ITSnuggles factory reset is still an option to consider; I just have to pick the right time to do so. Regarding the LAN ports I only have 4. I will try all four of them and will let you know the results – user2119344 – 2017-12-24T01:17:03.183

Also, are you aware of some network troubleshooting steps that I may follow which may isolate the issue in someway? – user2119344 – 2017-12-24T01:18:31.973
