WAX202 access point mode- REMOTE ACCESS

Hi

 

I have deployed a couple of the above model in access point mode.

 

I just want to confirm that there is no way to access these remotely (from outside the LAN) while in access point mode? short of port forwarding from my router.

 

I don't actually want remote access, i want to ensure that the AP can only be configured from within the LAN. I cant find an option to turn remote access off or on from within the config page so assume that is the case but want to be sure.

 

Thanks.

    Hello trev1982,

     

    And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂

     

    That is correct, the WAX202 can only be configured in your local LAN. It does not have the option to be managed/accessed remotely.  

     


    Have a lovely day,
