rax120 remote access
I have 2 RAX120 routers in different locations(different states). On one of them I am able to setup the remote access via the Web Services Management. On the other the Remote Access is not where...
Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I am up to date on the firmware for all my routers. I have 2 of the RAX120 - v1.2.3.28 - and one of the R9000 - v1.0.5.38. On for the RAX120 is good the other not so much, the R9000 works fine as well.
Yes NG did move it to Web Services and that is the issue.
Is the only way to turn on the Remote Management through the app? Is there a way to do it outside the app? I am 1500 miles from that router and would like to get it to connect remotely.
Thanks,
Dave
Ya, it's only thru the NH app were you can enable or disable it I believe now.
Thanks for that. It is surprising these companies are putting so much energy into the phone apps and completely ignoring the web particularly as a 'backup' to the app.
Ya I know. Possible that NG felt that having web page based remote access was a security concern so that may have driven them to the mobile app only. Who knows.
Ironically, if that was their logic, they would allow us to change the USER ID from 'admin' to something of our choosing. I feel that is more of a security issue than accessing things via the web.
