What do you mean that it keeps timing out?
Do you mean that you can't access the WebGUI? Or the miner keeps restarting?

If you can access the WebGUI(Access the miner through the browser) Go to kernel logs you can find it under "system" then copy them all and paste it to pastebin.com and share the link here or paste it here as a code(Use this button "#" before you post).

Sorry i didn't explain better after i login with ip and i change all my mining pool, worker infromation. I  saved it, then i went to mining status and the web browser keeps timing out. It says something like, " oops it tok to much time" that might not be the exact words.

Can you still ping it? Maybe it dropped off your local network for some reason and got assigned a new IP address. Also, as silly as it sounds, have you tried restarting your miner and / or router?

If other browser doesn't work as suggested above try to restart the miner and then try to use incognito mode in chrome.

If still doesn't work try to factory reset the miner by holding the IP button for 15 seconds. After that try to access the miner through incognito mode and setup the pool again.

If all suggestion above doesn't work your modem or router might have some connection issue try to reboot the modem/router then test it again.

Oh on this note try a different ethernet cable.
Blow compressed air into ethernet jacks on the miner and the switch it hooks up to.
Try different jacks on the ethernet switch

Also do you have lots of gear on network

I have had up to 125 miners on 1 router and when you get to that many your issue occurs more often.

It looks like you got your network settings mixed up, you have to reset the miner to the default settings.

Holding the IP report button doesn't reset the miner, it simply sends a new request to the DHCP table to get another IP, it's pretty much useless, to reset the miner it has to be powered off, and then you hold the IP report button BEFORE powering the miner on, hold that for a few seconds until you see the led flashes and then let go ( you want to keep pressing down on the IP report button throughout the whole process).

If this doesn't fix your issue, there are many other things to troubleshoot but overall this is a simple problem and can be easily fixed.
