Ssh password

I have a GL-iNet router (AXT1800). I’ve enabled SSH. I can get the SSH login prompt using the 192.168.8.1 IP via a hardwire from my home desktop to my GL, or via 10.0.0.2 when I connect to the GL’s SSID from my home desktop. It doesn’t like either the admin password or the WiFi password. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

C:\Users\dave>ssh admin@10.0.0.2
admin@10.0.0.2's password:
Permission denied, please try again.

Username is: root and the password is the password you set on the routers setup page.

Thanks. Worked!!

This is a little strange. From my desktop, with a direct ethernet cable, I can get to the GL’s admin page from a browser using http://192.168.8.1 as expected.

I set up the GL as a wireless Repeater with a static IP address of 10.0.0.2, connected to my home Xfinity router. I can ping 10.0.0.2 and ssh to root@10.0.0.2. But I can’t get to it from a browser using http://10.0.0.2. It just spins. However, if I use https://10.0.0.2, it works, but tell me it is insecure. Like it reverts back to http. Just curious why. Not a big deal, just confused.

Because the one is LAN the other is WAN. You need to open the ports to use via WAN.
