Trying to set up my GL-MT300N-V2 (SW3.102) for remote admin. Under Applications I enable DDNS and HTTP Remote access, tick the T&C and then Apply which then gives me access via the WAN port (address 192.168.1.101 for me).
However if I then power down and up it’s no longer accessible (refused to connect). If I go back in via WiFi or LAN to 192.168.8.1 and just hit Apply again it becomes available on the WAN port.
On closer investigation I note that:
Although you may not want DDNS it has to be enabled in order to enable remote access. The problem then is that if you have a VPN Client enabled the DDNS resolves your ip address as the remote VPN address so it will never work.
Ok just in case anyone else has this problem the way around it is to set the DMZ to 192.168.8.1.
Although it means losing this feature if you want to use it for something else, it does mean you can get onto the admin via the WAN port even after you power cycled it.
Hope this gets sorted out properly in the next upgrade.
