Nighthawk RAX40 security setup is terrible
I am interest in information security, and I brought a AX4 router.
I turned off Remote Management setting and want to ensure internet could not access my web management interface.
The setting pages shows it should be port 8443.
Anyway, I just turn off this function.
And, I did a port scan from internet to my router.
I found lots of interesting ports are open!!!
Some port are using https.
for example, port 58631.
I connected to this port by https....it show a login page.
okay, i tried to login by my credential...
success...this is a remote management port.....
It should be turn off!!!!!
okay, I use the block service, block this port, for all IP, always..
The block function doesn't work!! I can still connect to port 58631..
It seems this router are full of vulnerability and backdoor
How come netgear would allow this things happen?

I reboot my router.
The remote management port change to another port 4XXXX.
It is definitely a backdoor....
