4G router admin portal exposed to internet?

As far as I can tell, the admin portal for my Three ZTE MF286D router is listening on its public/WAN IP address, ie the admin portal can be reached from the public internet.

Does anyone know of a way to turn this off, so that the admin interface can only be reached from a device connected to the router's local network?

Hi @bmordue,

To my knowledge you should only be able to reach the Admin pages for a router whilst either using a wired or Wi-Fi network connection to that router. Can you explain a bit more about what's been happening and how you tested this?

Thanks,
Jonathan
