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 por...
CBK752 Kit returned for full refund. Problem solved.
The page might exist, however the menu item might be missing. Have you tried using a direct URL?

Nope - but great idea to try.
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?

Blanca_OI don't load apps onto my phone. Especially when I have a relatively secure wire connected to the device I am trying to set up.
Plus, if you think about it: isn't the idea of disabling remote access include disabling wifi access?
CBR750 is 3.2.16.18
RBS750 is 3.2.17.12
Sure, a subtle difference, but with the fact support is now suggesting I downrev firmware to versions that have known high risk hacks, it seems significant. The RBS page lists 3.2.17.12 as most recent, yet support says I should downrev to 3.2.16.6 ... lol. The sad part is that was the version the router shipped with, it had the DNS issue, and why I went looking for updates in the first place.
I have 10 days before my return window closes ... so will very likely be resetting and boxing the kit back up in the next day or three. I am tired of fighting the DNS issue, the fact security seems lacking (opened one port to a DMZ server and it was hacked within hours - but through random ports, not the assigned port ... lol), that the backhaul really isn't 2.4Gb/s as advertised (makes the kit AX3000, not AX4200 per the spec sheet), and that AX really does nothing for me at this point because the world is still selling AC devices - none of which me or my neighbors have. So the only real benefit over the AC2200 of the CBK40 is the diff between 866 and 1200 in the backhauls.
Not at all impressed nor satisfied with Netgear product support at this point.
Adding one more problem to the list: I am now unable to add devices that are in the adress reservation list to permitted acess control due to the Orbi now thinking the prior connected device is new. Yet, an IP address is reserved for that MAC. Even trying to manually add the device to the allowed list fails with "duplicate MAC address found" -- even though no attached devices have that MAC. Even worse? The Orbi lets the device connect to the network, just doesn't allow internet access.
