You can disable management via the WAN port and/or wi-fi if you put OpenWRT on them.

- Jaruzel 9y agoThere should have never been management access enabled by default via WAN or WLAN on ANY router to be honest. In a misguided effort to make their consumer devices more 'friendly'[1] they've just made them more insecure. -- [1] Even though most users have no idea the management interface even exists.
- yjftsjthsd-h 9y agoI don't mind it being on WiFi. But yeah, public facing management port is insane.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoIt's a tough call. The comms companies who provide my router provide millions of them. They want ACS/TR-069 by default and use it for automated updates. I always disable it, but I'll bet I'm something like 1:10k in that respect.
