Any Advanced configurations need to be performed with a web browser and at the routers web pages.

    Thanks,

     

    then is it possible for me to access the orbi router through internet remotely not through LAN  (by web browser not apps)?

        You can enable remote management by going to your web gui (typically 192.168.1.1) then click ADVANCED tab then click ADVANCED SETUP on left side and then REMOTE MANAGEMENT

         

        Put a check in TURN REMOTE MANAGEMENT ON and pay attention to your remote management address below that.

         

        Note the port number that management is done by and where you can limit who can do remote access.
