Manage 2 different Orbi physical sites (RBR40 and RBR50) remotely from an external browser or app
I have two separate Orbi mesh networks in two different physical locations that I manage and support: My home network: (1) RBR40 router and (2) RBS20 satellites A family member's network in thei...
On the Advanced Tab, Advanced Settings menu there is an entry for Remote Management or Web Services Management. After first creating a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) entry, this page can be used to activate web access to the router from the internet. Any web browser can navigate to the Orbi router from anywhere on the internet and log in using "admin" and the web password.
The instant Remote Management is activated, people will begin attempting to log into the Orbi web interface. With my 25 character admin password, security web sites claim it will take about 4 billion years for someone to finally hack their way into my Orbi.
This can be set up only from the web interface, which means you have to be connected to the Orbi system to do so.
Please ignore my previous post - it timed out before I could completely edit it.
I'm making progress, but I'm not able to remotely access the router:
I created a DDNS entry.
I rebooted my router.
My URL is responding to ping.
But I get a "site can't be reached" in Chrome.
And in the Web Service Management screen, there is no clickable "enable" option.
See this screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/FM1Q8Y3XY24
How do I enable the remote access?
Thanks,
