    Hello bclccataloger, 

     

    Welcome to the community! 

     

    Were you able to access the UI when on the LAN?  There is a policy set on the admin user by default to block the account to login from the WAN. This is a security mechanism as the admin password is a default password easily available on the internet. To disable this feature go to Users - Users. For the admin user click on Policies. De-select the option "Deny Login from WAN Interface" and click Apply. You'll also need to change the password back to its default password before changing this settings. 

     

    Let me know if it works. 

     

    Thanks,
