R6250 Admin panel accessible on port 80 of public ip
When I try and access my public IP I get prompted for credentials, I am able to enter my router login info and log into my router remotely.
- Remote management is disabled
- Port 80 is not forwarded to ANY machine
- DMZ server is NOT set
I am curious as to why this is happening and if there is a way to disable it.

From within your LAN, or from the outside world?

Changing that (even to a nonexistant address) might solve the
(apparent) problem. If you decide that you still care.

Thank you!
