N450 CG3000dv2 "LAN access from remote" log entries
Modem: Netgear N450 CG3000DV2 Firmware Version: V3.01.06 ISP: Time Warner Hi folks, I’m concerned about the “LAN access from remote” entries in the attached logs. I do not know how to configu...
I'm in the same situation with TWC.
Would setting up a port 161 forward to an unused internal IP prevent this access?
Port forwarding was suggested on another forum. I set it up. It looks like the port forwarding activity should show up in the logs, but I have not seen it. I am continuing to see the "LAN access from remote" entries. Please let me know if you have better luck.
Thanks
I set it up and got mixed results in my logs after testing.
The probe from Speedguide.net's SG Security Scan targeted the external IP and reported the port as open.
The probe from ShieldsUP on grc.com was forwarded to the unused IP and reported no response.
What's different between these two services?
Still getting [LAN access from remote ] on port 161 from IPs all over the world.
I might have to purchase a more secure router/modem.
I understand needing a more secure router. I was a bit more successful this time. The logs show that the accesses are being routed to my dummy address. If this doesn't stay "fixed", I will go shopping for a new router. Good luck.
