Connecting a Jetson Orin Nano to a Nighthawk MR60 and Enabling Secure Remote Access
Hello, I’m using a Netgear Nighthawk MR60. I purchased a Jetson Orin Nano, which is essentially a powerful computer with an Ethernet port. Since the MR60 has only one Ethernet port, I don’t have ...

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.
