Connecting a Jetson Orin Nano to a Nighthawk MR60 and Enabling Secure Remote Access

Get you one of these:

https://www.netgear.com/support/product/gs305v2

GS10# series will work too.

They also come in 8 or 16 port versions as well. 

Contact the Mfr of the Nano device for help and support information regarding there product. 

Hello FURRYe38​   Thanks a lot for your reply.  I also see Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switch (MS305E).  It is more expensive compared to GS305v2.    Which one should I go with?

I need to access the Jetson from the public internet.

There are several steps required to access a device on the local LAN from the internet.  The details depend on what type of access is required.

• Some application running on the computer? (web server?  FTP server?)
• Access to the command line or visual interface of the computer?
• The operating system running on the device?  (the Jetson Orin Nano appears to run a specialized operating system, perhaps a version of Linux?)

This is not a trivial undertaking.  I would look for

• Documentation on their web site
• A User Forum where customers share how they have used the product.

For example, enter this into an internet search, "remote access to Jetson Orin Nano".

Suggestions include:

• SSH
• VNC
• xRDP

To access the device from the internet, all of these require the following:

• The computer needs to have a fixed IP address in the LAN.  This is accomplished by entering the hardware MAC address in the MR60 LAN Setup table.
• Create Port Forwarding rules for the desired protocols on the Port Forwarding page. (ssh uses port 22. VNC uses port 5900)
  The ports are forwarded to the LAN IP address of the computer.
• Ensure that the MR60 has a public IP address.  i.e. it is not "hidden" behind an ISP router.

Another solution would be to enable OpenVPN on the MR60 and use an OpeVPN Client on the remote device to reach the MR60 LAN and then use the LAN IP address with the appropriate ssh, VNC, or xRDP Client to connect to it.

Once you have decided on a strategy for gaining remote access, people on this Forum (and probably the Jetson Forums) can provide assistance.

yes, it is.  Good Luck

One remote access topic to consider is security.  When the user forwards ports through the router to a device on the LAN, it is entirely up to the device to handle security.  i.e. if port 22 is opened to allow ssh connection to the device, then the device must allow only authorized connections and reject unauthorized connections.  Once port 22 is open, there will be almost constant attempts from the internet to connect to it.

Enabling OpenVPN on the router, allows remote devices to connect to the LAN and then use whatever protocol or mechanism they want to access any device on the LAN.  This is (yet another) reason to be in touch with others who are using this powerful device, as they may have useful experience.

Hi CrimpOn​ 

Is Telnet considered the SSH in Port Forwarding?  

Also you said 

• Ensure that the MR60 has a public IP address.  i.e. it is not "hidden" behind an ISP router.

Where do I check that?  

Thanks,
