Cannot Remote Into PC from a MAC using CoRD (Remote Desktop Software)
Hi I just swapped out an Apple Airport Extreme router with the RBK53S mesh system. With the Orbi system, I'm no longer able to remote into a PC I've on my LAN using the CoRD remote desktop applicati...
Finally got it to work. I guess a windows defender firewall settings has changed automatically when I setup the router?
Here is what I did...
Windows Icon -> Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Security (on the left) -> Firewall and Network Protection -> Allow an app through the firewall (link) -> Make sure 'Remote Desktop' is checked as well as 'Public' and 'Private' check boxes next to it. You've to click 'Change Settings' at the top to make changes.
I guess the windows defender firewall was blocking the RDP connections becuase my 'Public' checkbox next to 'Remote Desktop' was not checked. Changed the setting and it worked.
