Eli5 what is ‘remote management’ on my router and should I be concerned if it’s being regularly utilized
In: 4
Remote management means any type of administration/controlling the settings of the router that doesn’t take place from within the place your router is e.g at home. Your router provides a network, so anyone controlling the router from a different network is doing remote management.
Typically its seen as a bad security practice – all management of the router should be done on the network unless there’s a clear business case for it, or if at home, shouldn’t really be done at all.
If you can, switch it off. If you know its being used without your permission then change the password.
