Posted March 14, 2019 I am rather new to the EdgeRouterX for Unquiti ( new to all these enterprise like settings and gear). Just tired of the commercial networking equipment. What I wanted to ask if there is a way to remote connect directly to the router? What I am doing so far is remoting to a computer that is on the network, and then managing the router from there. But I did a change before and I lost connect to my entire network, also means that I have no way to monitor my security camera. I will be away for a few days. Previously I was able to connect to my Linksys 3200 ACM via the linksys account to make changes. So if anyone can provide any assistant that will be great.

Posted March 14, 2019 Author @Falconevo - i dont think i have anything setup. all i done so far on the router, was the initial wan setup, and changing the ip address of eth00. that was when i got knocked off the router when i was remoting in. which i am also confused about, since the computer i was connected with was on a different ip address all together. all these new settings are exciting and confusing all the same time.

How are you using the device, do you want to have a WAN port then use the other 4 ports as LAN ports all for the same LAN? The Edgerouter-X isn't a very user friendly device as it is designed for prosumers really who know about about network config. Do you currently have LAN access to GUI/Web portal of the device?

Posted March 14, 2019 Author @Falconevo - yea i understand that it prosumers, which I don't mind, as I will need to eventually need to understand as well. Router right now - eth0 - was 192.168.1.1 - this was the original port i used to connect and setup the router eth1 - WAN port eth 2-4 - connecting to my devices i remoted to my router and changed the eth0 port to 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.10 ( which was not used by any device, and then the router dropped my network connection to the computer i was connecting to. so i just like to for the future to connect directly to my router in case something like this happens, at least this way i maybe able to resolve the issue instead of waiting to get home from work going to eventually setup a VLan for all my networked devices as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 14, 2019 I recomend you to port forward ssh to your edgerouter and use an ssh tunnel or use UNMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
