Remote Management vs Remote Access

Disable remote management

 

If the box for remote management is not checked, does that confirm that the router cannot be accessed remotely?

 

Urgent reply needed as I am leaving town for a week.

 

Thanks,

  • Not necessarily. It's talking about legit remote access/management. Malware, Virus type can intrude your router specially when you are using

    public hot spot like at an airport.
