Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.0 Build 20230511 Rel.51317

Hi Support

 

Good day,

 

Current setup

 

Connection Type: PPPoE and internet connection is working fine. Also we have public ip which is 120.28.109.110

 

How to access TL-ER605 GUI (Web) via remote access from outside (Different location)?

 

I followed this link but still unable to access.   https://www.tp-link.com/ph/support/faq/2135/

 

 

Please see below attached photo for your reference

 

 

 

Thank you

Hi there,

 

Remote management section must contain IP address of REMOTE computer you are planning to use for remote access, not the address of a router. If your remote location doesn't have static IP, i wouldn't recommend using it. Better solution would be to create VPN tunnel between er605 and remote location(s).

 

Example od VPN tunnel:

There is no Wireguard seen on the tab section under VPN just like seen on the FAQ that you shared https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/3559/

 

JUST TO CLARIFY MY CONCERN. My goals is to access the router's GUI (standalone setup-not Omada) from different/others locations. For that, so I can do modify, changing the configurations, backup and restore the router's config bin, etc.

 

NOTE: I will be using mobile phones(android) using Data Connection(cellular) to connect and access the router from anywhere.

Hi @ken22 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Old fashion way is to use the VPN and all the traffic is encrypted.

Or you access its WAN IP directly and your parameters are supposed to be set to be 0.0.0.0/0.

Now i see that you are using older version of er605 which indeed does not have WireGuard. 

 

You could use openVPN then, it should provide similar results. Please use this guide:

 

https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/3632/

 

Creating openVPN server on er605 would be more secure than adding 0.0.0.0/0 to your remote management settings.  Adding 0.0.0.0/0 essentially means you are opening access to your router for anyone on internet, and thats not the right way to manage your (remote) network securely.
