WAN access to Orbi

1)  Is there a way to change the user name?  Under Advanced settings I can change the password, but not the user name (2.1.1.16)

 

2)  When I access via the web interface, is this going through my LAN or via NetGear and the WAN?  If WAN, I would like to disable acces from the WAN.

    Unlike some other mesh systems out there, Orbi is not controlled from the cloud - so LAN only. Unless you enable control via internet, and even that you can restrict to a specific IP.
