When I access WordPress website from remote device on local network ie: www.test.local WAMP decides to redirect this request to url which looks like www.test.localhttp/www.test.local/ And I will get an error. However when I access the url from the main computer(with WAMP) redirect does not occur. I tried to remove main wordpress htaccess. If the website has only index.html this problem does not occur.
All I get from error log:

If I will use standard WP generated .htaccess :
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
The results is that the URL is redirected to www.test.localhttphttphttp... etc until the limit is reached... On the remote device is WAMP pc IP as a proxy. Any idea where could the redirect be originating?
EDIT: Updated log - this is what shows rewrite tracing. When accessing from localhost machine it is the same up until the line 9 and then it just calls assets etc as usual...
Remotely accessing your Windows WAMP server sites over the internet. Step 1: setting permissions to allow other users to access your server. In WAMP server version 3.0.6 you'll need to modify the permissions that are ... Step 2: Allowing connections to your server through your firewall. Step 3: ...
To connect to WAMP from a different machine, you must open port 80, 443 for remote access. Refer to the FAQ for Windows, Linux and macOS for more information. IMPORTANT: Bitnami Native Installers do not modify the firewall configuration of your computer, therefore the WAMP ports could be open which is a significant security risk.
For security reasons, the WAMP ports in this solution cannot be accessed over a public IP address. To connect to WAMP from a different machine, you must open port 80, 443 for remote access. Refer to the FAQ for Windows, Linux and macOS for more information.
In WAMP server version 3.0.6 you'll need to modify the permissions that are found within Apache's https-vhosts.conf file which can be found by clicking the WAMP icon in task bar and hovering over the "Apache" dropdown.
EDIT: This doesn't seem to be the problem, as the updates to the question make clear. Still leaving this here for random googlers that may find it useful.
To update your wordpress site's URL:
You can update the option_name
's 'home' and 'siteurl' to option_value
's of 'http://www.test.local/' (same value for both) in your wp_options table -
UPDATE [yourWPDB].wp_options
SET option_value='http://www.test.local/'
WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl'
You can also add the following lines to your wp-config.php file in your wordpress root to update -
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.test.local/');
define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.test.local/');
