Silly question: but not so funny

Orbi CBR750 Cable Modem / Router

How do you turn off REMOTE management?

I mean, seriously - there is no OFF button that I can find in the web menus. But when I set up a simple port forward, say port 100 to an internal server, a normal http request illicits a login popup and DO YOU WANT TO RESET YOUR PASSWORD with a full disclosure of the Orbi router info as if I am direct connected to it.

 

So - how can I disable any and all management from the web side of the router?  This is pretty standard fair in most security circles.

      That is what is so not-funny: there is absolutely NO PAGE even close to controlling remote management on the CBR750.

      What is the full path to your web management page? e.g., Advanced tab: Setup or Administration or Advanced??

       

       

      • Show me a screen cap of Advanced tab/Advanced on your CBR...

        Thats where RM should be is under that path...

        Hi GWild

         

        I brought this up to the team and was informed that to use the Orbi app to enable/disable remote management. 

         

        Have you tried to do this step using the Orbi App? If so, please describe the result. 

        May we please know the current firmware version?
