Model : TL-MR3420

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version :

ISP :

I am trying to access the management console remotely over the public internet but all requests to get the static files (js, css etc) return 403 (as can be seen in browser console). This makes it impossible to login. What I get is a screen like in the attached image.

For your issue, it's better send email to support@tp-link.com directly.
Provide the HW & FW version, login username and password, WAN connection type and with configuration files.
Their senior engineer will help you test it.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I have this exact problem with my tp-link router too!

Oh to reply to myself in case it's useful for anyone else - I was accessing my router using a hostname that directs to my home network's internet-facing static IP address. I changed to entering the static IP address directly and now it works. Strange but at least I have a workaround.
