I can confirm firefox doesn't let me access the panel when gnome browser does
Although this solution isn't a complete fix as I do still have to restart the machine, but now 1 out of every 5 restarts makes it work, vs 1 out of every 100 or so like before.
thanks!
Ebang firmware or software is not updated they are no longer releasing any firmware so the program behind is outdated if you use the latest browser version sometimes its slow access sometimes not it's also the same on old or outdated routers most of them are inaccessible without using internet explorer or using old version of opera mini it's just base on my experienced and what I remember to someone who has the same issue before. So that's I think the reason why you can't access the IP sometimes or it's very slow.
Instead of accessing it via gnome why not use some tools like awesomeminer I don't know what is your current unit model but try to check on the following link if your unit model is supported
