I expect there’s a clever way of doing it, but if you set up and only use the guest wireless networks, you could then turn off - or don’t allow - intranet access. Would that do it for you?
And as someone reminded us in the last couple of days, you don’t have to stick to “admin” as your username to access the webui/console: you could, if you wanted, make it as complex as your password.
And, finally, welcome to our great forum.
thanks.
i seem to remember an old router that had a config option for this. it was either don't allow console access thru wifi or only allow console access thru ethernet. same result.
how do i make this a suggestion?
thanks.

IMHO - this is a tempest in a teacup - a lot of these recommendations and suggestions will break other things inside the router, and ultimately end up with another thread asking as to why things do not work.
Here's my suggestion - set a strong password, enable HTTPS on the Asus WebUI, and you're done...
RMerlin replies:
simple enough
Especially as it has brute force protection.
hi.
is there a way to limit access to the admin console to the ethernet ports? so just thru a wired connection, not through wifi?
thanks
