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...
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.
Not sure changing the log in name would make it more secure. If someone was to be nefarious on the LAN side, one could theoretically still find the user name. And besides, would have to be done by someone connected to the LAN side network to do it. Seen other mfrs use same admin log in for years. Doesn't seem to be a problem for most.
