Unwanted Remote Login To My LAN

I keep getting LAN Access from remote entries in the log on my Orbi RBR20. UPnP is dissabled. I have added some of the IP addresses to the blocked list on my NAS. What can I do/check please?

    You are, of course, correct.  The NAS can be programmed to be sophisticated about who to admit (and who to reject).  The Orbi is a more simpleminded gatekeeper.  It is either "let people knock on this door" or "turn everybody away." Who gets admitted is up to whoever is running the door.

     

    If you tell Orbi to allow connection to the NAS (or any other local resource), it is up to the resource to determine who should (and who should not) be granted access.

This is great, thanks.  So 192.168.0.4 and 192.168.0.16 are devices connected to the Orbi LAN?

Thanks for all the replies.

 

192.168.0.4 is my Synology NAS

192.168.0.16 is a security camera
