RAX50 remote management

Have RAX50 - stock firmware, updated to V1.0.16.132_2.0.92

I want to manage it remotely.  I don't see a remote management option.
Is the only way to do this is to enable VPN access? 

  • NG removed web page remote access from there routers a few years ago. Only remote access is with the Nighhawk app and it has limited features. 

     

    You'll have to check out OpenWRT or DD-WRT to see if they support this model router.


    Good Luck.

  • Wondering if anyone has installed 3rd party firmware.. if so - any recommendations would be helpful.
